There is another US release with the catalog number "FC 40238" printed on the spine and a slightly different barcode.

Per Tim Neely of Goldmine:
"In the 1980s, there also were albums with three letters, usually "BFC"; these are early pressings of certain LPs that were released at a lower list price. If they became popular, they were re-released without the "B" (as "FC") with a revised bar code (usually adding an "02" to the number on the back) and a higher price."

On some copies of this version, a sticker was affixed over the barcode and the spine with the "FC 40238" catalog number and the alternate barcode found on the alternate US release.

Copies exist with barcode on back cover stamped in gold with a big "D" and boxed text: "FOR PROMOTION ONLY / Ownership Reserved By CBS / Sale is Unlawful". (See image)
