B side - Aurora - in trail-off area:       V-109-B

            They appear to be etched. There are no other marking that I can see in the trail-off area.

           The sleeve is as acquired with the record. 

            I think it might be "original" but don't know for certain.

See Rockin’ Records 2009 Edition: Page 965 for information regarding number of copies pressed (200) and reference to Neil Young. (the isleofwrite and thrasherswheat links below says that about (300) copies were pressed – either way, that would make it “pretty rare”)
