The UK release of Works Volume 1 had Atlantic white labels, with two different, chronologically coexistent, layouts. It also had at least two sets of etched handwriting on matrices, completely different to one another, also coexisting in some discs.
Considering the left hand side of the labels, label layout #1 had catalog information in this order (side one used as example):
SIDE ONE
STEREO
K 80009 (written in bold text)
(SD2-7000)
K 80009 A
Label layout #2 had a different order and made use of an asterisk. The fourth and fifth lines are indented:
SIDE ONE
STEREO
K 80009
K 80009A*
(SD 2-7000)
Considering the right hand side of the labels, label layout #1 has "P 1977 Palm Beach International Recordings Ltd." closer to the center than label layout #2.
In addition, the last publisher on side 3 switches between one line on the non-asterisk version (label layout #1) and two lines on the asterisk version (label layout #2), and the publisher on side 1 has an additional comma - "Palm Beach International Recordings Ltd.," on asterisk labels.
A copy could have all sides based on label layout #1, all sides based on label layout #2, or any combination of these. The label design cannot be used to indicate an earlier or a later copy of this album.
This release: label layout #2 on sides A and C, label layout #1 on sides B and D, etched handwriting #2 on all matrices (see images).
For images of etched handwriting #1 on all matrices, see [r=7646094 .
