    Is there any info on other variants - I have a record with a runouts that are not recorded above, but everything else seems to match. Do I have the right version?

      The 2020 remastered pressing from the ‘Sade This Far’ box set. 180 gram vinyl is flat and pretty quiet. Cheap paper inner sleeve replaced with a poly lined sleeve. Glossy gatefold is perfect
