59' Sound Vinyl

I was just wondering how i can tell the difference between the 59's sound on 12" black vinyl, if it is the european variant which is limited to 1000 or just the unlimited version?

The ’59 Sound Euro Press

I was going to post about this when I first hear about it, but wanted to make sure it was a real “variant” and not just a rumor. So anyways, instead of SideOne shipping over a million copies of The ’59 Sound overseas, why not just ship the jackets over and have the vinyl pressed over there? So yes, supposedly there were 1,000 copies presses and the only way to tell the difference is by the matrix etched into the vinyl. I have pics that frank took for the VC board and my crappy one trying to show the entire line of etchings. Anyways, the top one is euro, bottom one is US.
