The disc is backed by a printed black on white insert. Insert is back-to-back glued white card, with radius corners at bottom. (The radius on the promo inserts is slightly larger than the later stock issue inserts, by some 3-4mm) Vinyl not in protective paper sleeve. Some issues also included a Press Pack of other marketing material for the album & 'write ups'. This promo does not have the 'Clear Spot' logo printed on the insert.
