Stickers: On shrinkwrap, may include, Saturn sticker on back with song titles (VPSX-6089-1), Quadradisc sticker on front cover (one of two sizes 2 1/16" x 2 7/8" or 2 1/4" x 2 7/8") (VPSX-6089-2), and/or Steamroller Blues (VPSX-6089-3) sticker. The Chicken of the Sea Sneak Preview sticker was only available for select Chicken of the Sea employees. The red sticker reads DELUXE (2) TWO RECORD SET.

The Quadradisc sticker variation of size was only recently discovered and brought to my attention by Robert Alaniz of Soundz Good Records. This sticker may be found in one of two sizes, 2 1/16" x 2 7/8" or 2 1/4" x 2 7/8". Though both exist, it seems that the smaller of the two stickers is significantly less common.
