Yes, that's what I suspect may have happened.
I used to go to the local record shop asking for titles that I had heard at the Youth Club & Local Disco.
Many titles were deleted by that time, but I used to trawl through the catalogue just in case.
If I remember correctly, Julien Covey I had to order, when It arrived the lady took 2 copies from the shelf & passed one to me.
I said is the other ordered for anyone, she said no we just ordered 2 copies, 1 to re-stock, so I bought both.
It may well be that I caught the end of the Initial release, which had undergone a design change during that time.
