    Some of the variants of both this And the U.K. Beggars Banquet pressings are styrene, so it’s worth bearing that in mind if your trying to source an archive copy.

      PR suffix on labels - because it is a promo copy, I'm guessing? My copy has a gold stamp on the cover: "Promotional Copy NOT FOR SALE" and an ATCO sticker on the front with song durations for radio use.
