Would be interesting to know why some of these variations exist, what the considerations were behind them and wether the bands got a say in the final designs. Always wondered for example why the French Bernett Records label chose to have alternate covers for Battleaxe's 'Burn This Town' & Tank's 'This Means War'. I'm sure they released a couple of other records with sleeve variations too.

Yes, other Bernett Records variations that comes in mind now are METALLICA - RIDE THE LIGHTNING and VIRGIN STEELE - GUARDIANS OF THE FLAME. TOKYO BLADE - TOKYO BLADE has some extra writings on it. Also VENOM first two has some publicity mentioned on the frontcover by ENFER MAGAZINE. If there are more...
People tend to say that the green cover of the RIDE THE LIGHTNING is a misprint but i think it's just a cover variation and not a misprinted cover just because Bernett Records made cover variations.
