    I just got a super clean UK original and wanted it to sound better than this US promo. It sounds slightly different maybe but not better. I’d say it’s a tie.

      can anyone here actually shed some light on the sound quality of this promo pressing? Thanks

        Over the years I've bought copies of this record at used record stores. For the first time today and I picked a random copy from my collection to play and it is the white label promo one. It does have the promo print on the back and so I thought it was a generic promo.

        I'm surprised that this does not go for more money since it is double release, white label promo and a classic!!

          'Train in vain' being conspicuous by it's listing absence (though it IS on the disc) does not appear on the lyric inner sleeve either. Most curious !
