Aerosmith (Misprint)

~ Release by Aerosmith (see all versions of this release, 29 available)

Annotation

This is part of the first group of pressings which features a unique cover that was modified for all subsequent pressings. The photo is smaller and in the center of the cover.
Some early promo copies came with a timing strip on the back, but with stock issue record. The timing strip corrected the "Walking the Dog" misprint, but kept the "Write Me" instead of "Write Me A Letter" error.

This version has two unique features:
"Walkin' The Dig" printed on back of sleeve.
"Write Me" appears on sleeve, "Write Me" appears on label.

Other versions have some other combination of the four main variations:
-correct spelling of dog on back cover
-misspelling of dog as "dig" on back cover
-"write me" on label
-"write me a letter" on label
