The spine and back sleeve display slightly different catalogue number formats—W2750 on the spine and W 2750 on the back sleeve and label—highlighting subtle variations in packaging details.
This pressing was cut from masters recorded at Warner Bros. Studios in North Hollywood and Burbank, embedding a direct link to the band’s local production roots.
