Australian WRC 6th [at least] pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. Issued in two separate non-flipback sleeves. Unusually for the time, the sleeve art has been updated, with the new numbers on both sleeve (as R 00246 and R 00247) and labels (as R-00246 and R-00247). The old numbers (S-4221 and S-4222) are only seen as part of the matrix numbers on the labels. No laminate strip present down the back of the right side of the sleeve. Issued again in January 1978 - unlikely to be any pressing differences.
