    I've just found a bonus 7" copy (plain white label, die-cut white sleeve) of the Oh Brother!/God-Box single (BEG-110 A-1/B-1) lurking inside my copy of the LP - which I bought new in 1995! Can't believe I hadn't spotted this before. (Actually, given what I was up to in the 90s, I can well believe it!)

    Anyone else have this bonus 7"? Am thinking it's likely an anomaly rather than a distinct LP+7" release, but thought I'd ask anyway...

      my copy has the "lowdown" on a yellow sticker on front cover and "BBL..." on a small yellow sticker on backside. no barcode. but matrix matches this release.
