sleeve. The glossy outer sleeve was the first Virgin issued with a OVED 211 sticker hiding the
original catalogue number.

additional information
The artwork was the same as the original Virgin pressing (complete with the Side One and

Some had "Virgin Value" stickers on the front of their jewelcases.
Virgin also sent out promo issues. These were the same as the commerical versions, but had blue promo stickers over the
bar-code.
