Both title and band name are embossed on front cover.

This variant of Warner Bros. BS 2562 is very unique in that the runout etchings of Side 1 are from a stamper produced for and pressed at Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Jacksonville as evidenced by the JW and number 3 as well as the stamped larger '0' signifying a Jacksonville pressing most similar to [r4095852]. The runout etchings however on Side 2 of this variant are from a stamper produced for pressings to be pressed at Winchester Warner Pressing Plant as evidenced by the WW etched in the runout similar to this variant [r7378950]. Only thing being is that the signifying Winchester Pressing Plant rifle runout marking "─◁" has been scratched out. So a bit confusing as to which plant and pressing variant this is though being as the Side 1 stamper is Jacksonville and Side 2 is a Winchester with the rifle marking scratched out it is more likely to have been pressed at Jacksonville though the stampers are mixed Jacksonville/Winchester.
Also the labels on this variant are the later, early 80's off-white with six watermark WB badge logos just like the labels on this Winchester variant [r7378950].

The back cover of this variant also differs in that it does have a barcode in the top right corner.
