In contrast to Starship (2) - Knee Deep In The Hoopla, there is no code number in the lower right corner of the back cover; and the opening at the top of the inner sleeve is not cut square but with a curve that matches the curvature of the disc.

Some copies can be found pressed in translucent black vinyl.

The Plant Studios - Sausalito, CA
