This is a later pressing of Louie Louie and it seems to be quite unusual. There are a few differences compared to the ordinary EMI BRO 60. First of all the opening in the top of the sleeve has a round cutting instead of a straight one. The back cover also contains a square white sticker that says "Manufactured and distributed by Polydor Limited". The label contains the "Produced by Neil Richmond/Motorhead" on the right side that can also be found on previous copies without picture sleeves. But the label has still another addition. On the right side it is printed "Original sound recording made by Bronze Records Ltd". This should mean that these copies were made just after Polydor had acquired Bronze from EMI. This happened by the end of 1980 so myc guess is that these copies with the "Original sound recording made by Bronze Records Ltd" label and the "Manufactured and distributed by Polydor Limited" were made in late 1980 or during 1981. There were adds in the music press in September 1980 saying that Louie Louie, Overkill, No Class and Bomber were available again and at the bottom of the add it said they were available from EMI. Could it refer to this pressing?

I have seen a copy without picture sleeve that is missing the label on side 2. It was sold on Ebay in May 2006 for £13.
