Also includes Physical Attraction. This superb rarity has not been cut to the finished shape but remains as a 12″ disc with clear vinyl surrounding the central image. Uncut picture discs are generally used as ‘test pressings’ – a few are always made to check the image alignment and print quality before the final run is cut to the desired shape, needless to say these rarely appear for sale, more info here
