Notes

This is the transitional Press. (1.5th press) 

The matrix says A-1U and B-1U, just as the first press. But this transitional version has the second press label (palm tree) on the vinyl instead of the 'pink rim' label. 
It was made right after the record label changed the Label layout from 'pink rim' to 'palm tree'. The last wax presses where already pressed. And the company decided to press the second press label on those last waxes.
