Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
Capitol, Winchester pressing denoted by "·─◁" etch in runouts. In matrix no's variant 3 transcript " ̶[̶i̶l̶l̶e̶g̶i̶b̶l̶e̶]̶ ̶" stands for several inscribed characters that can't be deciphered due to accumulation of circular inscribed crossings, which makes the original inscriptions impossible to read.
On this edition, at least variant 3 matrix runnouts have several illegible inscriptions crossed out, in addition to the ones indicated.
