Only some copies of this pressing left the plant with that sticker applied, so it is a variant marker and not standard issue — once the shrink is gone it can never be put back. This is the 1996 Elektra first pressing: gatefold sleeve, printed inner sleeves, runouts mastered at Sterling. The Bob Rock record that traded the Black Album's precision for blues-soaked sprawl across four sides, from 'Ain't My Bitch' to the fourteen-minute closer 'The Outlaw Torn.' Sharp corners, no ring wear, no seam splits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin-top:14px;font-size:0.9em;color:#555;\"\u003eCurated by Collectors, for Collectors.
