Initial copies came with a ELO sticker.
The single was issued in two different fonts:
-
The first version has the ELO band name in a curly font.
-
The second version has a different font and text layout. The ELO band name is in a straight font, a "S" was added to the catalogue number and STEREO word is much smaller.
Many miss-label copies exist with a mixture of S JET and just JET cat number along with curly font labels and straight font labels on different sides.
For example the image below in the sleeves are scanned from the same record.
Plus there exists Miss-Pressing that play "Last Train To London" on BOTH sides. This can be spotted/seen by the same matrix number on both sides run out grooves.
