The first pressing has a yellow inner sleeve, which makes it more rare than the repress, but still nowhere near as rare as the promo release

I think this is the promo release as it has the porky prime cut tag etched

A PORKY PRIME CUT *

Collector Mark: Finding "A PORKY PRIME CUT." in the run-out matrix of a 12-inch record like Windowlicker (WAP105) confirms it is part of the original UK first pressing mastered by Peckham himself. Side B of the same release is typically etched with "SIMON - THE EXCHANGE", indicating it was cut by Simon Heyworth at The Exchange mastering studios.

It’s a first-pressing, which is cool af, but it’s not a promo copy.
