The B-side label on my 7" is red. The A-side is white as pictured.

just bought a bunch of promo 45's including this one with the picture sleeve

I believe this was issued with a picture sleeve. My copy has one and the picture sleeve is printed 'not for sale.' 'Accidents' is also misspelled on front of sleeve.

Mine has a picture sleeve as well. Can anyone confirm that this is, in fact, possible/legit?

Bonus record in some pressings of Armed Forces album,supposedly a great disc itself.
