My copy matches the runout exactly, there's no barcode, it's clearly Golddisc but there are the red/silver IRS labels, not the Gargoygle ones. Does anyone else have this?

Studio should be "Drive In" studio... Drive is a name of a much later song

Ive got a cd-single with this 5 track ep on IRS that is not listed, it got cat no 7243 8 35089 2 1. Does anyone know of it s value?

I have a copy of this thats exactly the same, gargoyle label, except the label on the vinyl is the B Side on both sides. Any idea about this - rarity/different pressing/etc?

I've got a promo of this EP and I think it's closest to this version (gargoyle label, SP 70502) but instead of a barcode, there's a gold stamp over Mike's chest on lower right: "LOANED FOR PROMOTION ONLY/Not For Sale/Ownership and All Rights Reserved."

I assume that qualifies as a separate release? Not sure but didn't want to create a new entry if it's not separate.
