Front Cover:

·        The Wall is cream coloured, not white, with the bricks outlined in purple. 

·        The cover is made from a single sheet of wrap-around cardboard, and is of a thicker cardboard than on later printings. If there is a 'join' seam at the base of the gatefold cover as well as the top i.e. made from two pieces of card, it is not a first pressing cover.
