I have this version from Germany with green/orange Atlantic labels.
It says STEREO [GEMA] in the white middle stripe.
Price code, label code, inner sleeve the same as this version.
Probably a variant?

Matrix / Runout - from what i can read/decipher:
A: STA-814727-B 50296A² WELCOME CHRISTOPHER STERLING (EDP) MISFI SMI3
B: STA-814727-B (EDP) M2SFI SMI "UP TO THE SKY" - ROMAN STERLING printed upside down, barely readable: 20Aae - BSX

This is mayby the best Foreigner album and this German pressing sounds good, but album Inside Information sounds much better.
