I don't think calling this a "white label advance copy" is warranted, as it's not a white label and there is no promo wording. Just looks like a variation of the standard lp.

Hello Beau,

This is not a variation of the standard LP it is a proper advance release. These 'white labels' were pressed in a very limited number and used for pre-release promotion purposes. When the album was released they sent out standard releases with a Greek promo stamp on the label or a Greek promo sticker on the sleeve.

The first Greek TQID LP's were released as a single sleeve because they didn't receive the films for the gate fold sleeve from Rough Trade. The vinyl was pressed and they had to release the LP. Later releases have the gate fold sleeve. If you were close enough to the record company you could exchange your single sleeve for a gate fold sleeve. Anyway, the different sleeve could have been printed before they received any film from Rough Trade.

Take care, Marcel
