Cover: picture sleeve front and back.

Although the sleeve may appear identical to the one up top, there is a striking difference between the two. The first cover has the front cover slick pasted over the back cover slick with the pink background. This cover is a white back cover slick with a front and a back cover slick pasted over it. It is extremely rare.
