    My copy of this Lyntone/Utopia release has an addition, a letter 'O' printed on the A-side label. It's bottom right, half a centimetre to southwest from the (C)-sign. I wonder if it's just some printing error or a unique never seen before release. Does anybody know anything about that?

      Can anyone identify if this is the first pressing? Seems so, as the matrix is BRED-10-A and BRED-10-B without an additional number and the othe one is LYN 8664-1UT and LYN 8665-1UT with the "1" marking it as first pressing plates?
      Funny that Lyntone Recording pressed also the very first Sex Pistols album "SPUNK"...
