Each was issued in medium card picture sleeve with black EMI logo on bottom left corner;
Released with a generic EMI inner sleeve;
Labels are tan with red EMI logo and A Trident Audio Production logo.
Version differences are as follows:
Queen - Queen (THIS VERSION) Main release
Queen - Queen Phonodisc Pressing, as identified by an outdented circle on the label
Queen - Queen Label additionally credits Dick James Mus. for track A2
Queen - Queen Laminated Sleeve, Label additionally credits Dick James Mus. for track A2
In addition, an unverified note states that:
"The first pressing dated 13 July '73 can be identified by 3U/2U matrix from this “Pop Conference” Promo LP Queen - Queen"
All runouts are stamped, except "BLAIR" and "BLAIR RULES" are etched (where applicable).
Given the majority of the main release versions and phonodisc pressings have a runout:
Side A: HUGGYPOO KISSY (and similar)
Side B: KATHY PAT SUE KIP JOHN RAY, OFF WITH HIS HEAD, AGAIN
And the BLAIR markings appears across all those with Dick James credits, it's possible a number of main release Blair runouts have been misclassified.
Note that Pat and Sue were close friends and the founders of the Queen fan club, which may be related.
