ABCD 931 on spine and cover; ABCD-931 on labels. ABC-era pressing released after MCA acquired the company in 1979; cover stamped in gold with "Platinum Plus MCA-37044."

Side A matrix closely matches pressing variants of [r13214557] and [r11142165]. Side B matrix is similar to pressings such as [r6363262] but without a circled number following the catalog number.

ABC multicolor concentric circle labels. Text layout on labels may be different than on similar versions; Side A Track 5 appears on two lines (such as [r13214557] and [r6363262]) rather than on three lines (such as [r11142165]).

Cardstock inner sleeve includes an RCA Music Service catalog number (source: [r5190550]) that appears nowhere else on the release (same as [r16003830]).

"Ƨ P" in Side A matrix, and "A 2 P" in Side B matrix are faint stamps. "P" (indicating [l447694]) appears before the catalog numbers (both sides), "Ƨ" appears between the catalog number and lacquer initials (Side A only), and "A 2" appears at about 6 o'clock from the catalog number (Side B only).
