Front cover of the twelve-page booklet

The common BY POLYGRAM disc variation can be found with this back inlay.
"32100-2" over "Europe: 250 699" is printed on the reverse.
There are two minor color variations available for this inlay. On one, the dot
screen is so tight that the background appears to be solid brown. On the other,
the dot screen is wider, and it is obviously composed of tiny dots.

All disc variations have been found with this back inlay.
This rear inlay is also available with the same color variations described above.
"32100-2" over "Europe: 250 699" is printed on the reverse.

Notes: This target CD (POLYGRAM variation) is quite common. Tracking down the variations is trickier.
