Notes

Released in a gatefold sleeve with an illustrated full-colour 16 page 29.5x29.5cm booklet stapled to gatefold spine.

The spine and labels list the title simply as "War Of The Worlds". Labels also show artist as Various.

Side D runout groove shows matrices as follows:
"MX179976" is actually "MX1799756" but the 5 is crossed out;
"S2BP201" is actually "S2SBP201" but the second "S" is crossed out.
All characters in all matrices are stamped, except for "DB", which is always hand-etched.

Side C runout matrix is entirely hand-etched, differing from all other matrices on the release.
