Many early Liberty/UA pressings carry an 'Electric Rock' sticker, in one of at least two designs. These correspond with a promotional campaign around Liberty/UA's Electric Rock (Idee 2000) (Germany 1970) (opens in a new tab) compilation, issued in 1970. They are not however a reliable indicator of pressing date, as they appear on the earliest first pressings documented here, and may have been in use as late as 1973.
