I have the embossed sleeve if it means, its like a white leather effect (wrinkle's ?) Also has inner protective sleeve.

I bought my copy on the day of release and there is no embossing anywhere on the sleeve. The record still sounds superb today. I bet the reissue due out in December doesn't sound as good as this.
