I did post this previously in the 'collecting' forum but got zilch comments, so hoping it may be seen by more folks here. (I have also posted on the 'Collecting Queen' FB page, and other rare vinyl forums and got nothing too!!)
I recently picked this up in my local second hand record shop ('I Want it All 12" version)......but it has two marked differences to the 'standard' edition:
There is a printing error on the cover (see attached pic) where the picture doesn't go all the way down, resulting in a blank white strip at the bottom.
Perhaps more intriguingly, the matrix no on the disc itself is 12QUEEN 10 A-1U-1-1 D, which differs from the
12QUEEN 10 A-1U-1-2 D as on the 'regular' release.
There is nothing online that I can find at all about the sleeve issue, or an earlier run of the vinyl with an earlier matrix no. that was binned.
Is there a known batch of these??

Thanks - for some reason I'd been all around Discogs and didn't see that full listing of Matrix Nos - perhaps the view on my smartphone was masking it...I'll check this again along with the B Side matrix on my disc.
