The UK first pressing was a double LP on Parlophone, catalogue NODATA 01, in a gatefold sleeve with Stanley Donwood's blue-white collage artwork. Original copies pair both discs with consistent Parlophone labels and matrix suffixes across all four sides, on heavyweight sleeve card with the period inner bags.
Matrix / Runout
Runout suffixes run across four sides in the style 'NODATA 01 A1' through 'NODATA 01 D1' with stamped plant codes; genuine sets are internally consistent.
3 Tells That Reveal a Fake
- 1
Counterfeits reproduce Donwood's intricate collage with lost fine detail and a colour shift, where the original is sharp and cool-toned.
- 2
As a double album, fakes mismatch the two discs' labels or matrix suffixes; genuine sets keep all four sides consistent under NODATA 01.
- 3
Bootleg sleeves are thin and glossy and the runouts omit the period-correct UK plant codes of 1997.
