When preparing the UK edition cover art from the US supplied artwork (David Bowie - Hunky Dory) RCA mistakenly removed the GEM logo from the rear sleeve. Close examination of the cover shows it has been artworked out. It was subsequently restored on the next UK edition, though in slightly different position. (David Bowie - Hunky Dory)
