I know the main site states that USA 1st and 2nd pressings of Loaded come in the same sleeve, but has anyone noticed even the slightest difference?

Just received a still sealed copy. Has the pasted rear and "Printed in U.S.A." Seal is real tight. Quite a large hole punch top right which has been punched after the album has been sealed.

Any information gratefully accepted!

The punch hole mean that the Album was marked for deletion and was discounted into the cheap bin

Thanks, i am aware of all the different deletion marks.

I mentioned the hole punch incase anyone knows if one issue had a deletion hole and the other issue had a saw cut or corner cut instead. That could happen if different wholesalers were used for the two issues.

So if one label variation had only hole punches and another only saw cuts then we could tie some sleeves to the 1st or 2nd issue.

My head is starting to hurt.
