Gold/tan Elektra label with Clear Light logo.
Allentown pressing, identified by the AR date-codes faintly etched in runouts.
Label variant: second Allentown version with
• Corrected Nina Music / Little Giant publishing credits for track A1.
• Both labels (and jacket) are marked, All songs © copyright Nina Music BMI, except where otherwise indicated.
• September/October pre-release plate/pressing dates in runouts.

The AR date-code was inscribed each time a stamper was made; they vary considerably in style but it's all the same pressing: some are MM-DD-YY (Variants 1 and 2), but others use a pressing-plant MMDDY shorthand with only the final digit of the year (with or without a / separator, as in Variant 3).
All runouts also contain a tiny and indistinct set of initials that have not yet been identified. (RK, R10 and PY have been suggested, likely that of Ray Hagerty.)

Issued with a special inner sleeve showing a picture of the band in black and white.
Also released in mono (# EKL-4011).

Black Roses © Nina Music/Little Giant.
