    Styrene injection moulded labels have a tint of blue and not silver.

      Hard to spot what the difference is between 'Styrene' labels and 'silver injection' labels. Anyone? Or is this an attempt to make a separate issue out of absolutely nothing ?!

        Yes Ian, my version is P1978 with Fiction silver injection moulded label, with exactly the same small wonder cover.

          My version is P1978 with Fiction silver injection moulded label, but in a small wonder cover, with dripping tap on the back cover. Does any one else have the same?
