additional information
The LP was packaged in a plastic wrap with a grey sticker:

There were no titles on the front cover. The grey sticker carried the artist and release details.

This limited edition was pressed on "silver" vinyl. In reality, this was more of a bright "shiny" grey with marbling effects.

The song titles and spine text were coloured silver. This was the only packaging difference with the standard edition (above).
