Question.. I just received my copy and the pink sticker is not attached to the back sleeve as per the Discogs photo, but on a piece of paper, allowing me to peel it off. It seems that the sticker faintly lists the following: "HIPPOPOTAMUS shaped vinyl 2 unreleased tracks" plus a number in a box (mine being 0007). is this the same sticker that is on the back of the plastic sleeve and does this mean that this release is numbered?

The pink sticker is supposed to be on the back of the - horrible - pvc sleeve. It is peelable and covers yet another sticker with the individual number. So.... yes... this release definitely is numbered. (I only discovered this because I got rid of my pvc sleeve and peeled the sticker off)

On my copy it is attached to the PVC sleeve, but it is peelable as well. My copy is 0750. I think there's a video of Ron & Russell peeling the sticker off on YouTube as well.

the same, copy quite ruined and deformed, but beautiful object.

My copy just arrived. Quite warped, as apparently a lot of copies are :(

This disc is awesome looking, but suffers from sound quality issues related to the shaped picture pressed within the disc. The 'A' side is affected in that as the record is played, the stylus will hit the ridges caused by the picture being raised up within the vinyl, creating an intermittent 'rubbing' sound as it plays. This was actually typical of a lot of similar shaped discs pressed in the 1980's that also incorporated a clear portion into the design. The 'B' side is unaffected because the picture is pressed away from the grooves on this side. Still, it's a thing of beauty!
