Notes

This cover variant was probably a production error with incorrect printing plates. It was probably early in the printing run and corrected for the remainder of copies.

Mark Muller suggests:

"What seems to have occurred is the printer used a warm red instead of 100M and 100Y. This could be so the registration of the plates printed better, especially on shite equipment, or rush jobs.

"Scenario 1: Printer had this 'orange' on the deck from another job, and used it for run-ups to get ink balance and registration, or

"Scenario 2: ...The printer...had the wrong colour in the deck. they ran quite a few (the registration looks reasonable on your copy) then, instead of scraping the run, changed the 'orange' to Warm Red and continued with the run."

It is unknown if there are many copies like this.
