1983 U.S. Elektra first press era
(Note:  Originally pressed 1981 Carrere version in Europe with 2 different songs and mixes.)
This is not just a normal Specialty pressing.

Allied Records pressing using Sheffield Lab Matrix metal parts
This is actually a very early U.S. pressing configuration (1983).
Typical pressing chain here:
Lacquer cut (JG)
Plated at Sheffield Lab Matrix
Some metal parts sent to Specialty
Some sent to Allied Records
Your record pressed at Allied (ɑ)

This is why you see ɑ + SP + SLM together.

Some copies have the part of the E.A.S.T asound the spindle on side 2.  E & T present on some copies, but no A & S.

Allied Records pressing (ɑ)
Sheffield Lab Matrix plating (SLM Δ5026)
