I was wondering if anyone has pictures of the promo release of this 45? Just curious to see what it looks like... Thanks!

I found this online, not so much a promo but a test pressing.
I just got a similar test pressing in the mail today. I’ve played it a couple of times, since the side that’s not labelled sounds like the mix that has been out there since VOTH was released, but the side that is labelled sounds like an early mix. Especially in Richard’s backing vocals. It sounds like there are parts that are not there, and there doesn’t seem to be as many “ahhhhs” and “wahhhs”. Especially early on, it kind of seems empty. And the reverb on the drums doesn’t seem as pronounced. The funny thing is, upto where you have the drums do their big stereo sweep, it sounds different, but then after that sweep it sounds the same!
Oh and the white sleeve has a date of January 20 1984 stamped on it (like they had used one of those library stamps).
