Notes
There are 3 gatefold sleeve versions for this Australia release. The only differences are on the spine. The artwork picture wraps around the spine to the back.
When first released the catalogue number “L 37981” and “WAR” were printed in white text. (Version 1)
It was deemed not very legible so they quickly changed it to a fully white spine with black text. (Version 2)
However this was short-lived before they changed back to the conventional wrap around picture but this time with red text on the spine ( Version 3). This is the most common version.
