    I own this, but the etchings on my B-side are PBL 34118 ID, which is a runout I can't find on any of the versions of the record, so I don't know exactly what version I have

      Unbelievable. this is the kind of record that sells you on the artwork and concept and then you drop that needle and it is even better than you expected.
