This pressing excludes [l141989 etched into the matrices.  Furthermore, the labels are stuck to vinyl which has a different (almost flat) moulding compared with [r=606958, which was pressed by [l141989, with moulded indentations under each label.

Original vinyl copies released in the UK and Europe included either a two-sided lyric sheet or an inner sleeve.  
There were two releases in the UK that used the same catalogue number: AHAL 8004. One was manufactured in the UK with Ariola Hansa 'Rainbow' labels and pressed on thick vinyl.  In Germany, the other had black/silver labels, [r=1871137, pressed using thinner quality vinyl.  Furthermore, the sleeve produced in Germany appears to have used the German 'Hansa International' sleeve but with the German catalogue number removed and replaced with the UK number, AHAL 8004:  [r=1871137.
