RCA used this opportunity to get rid of some surplus stock of the 'new black' Label electronic stereo re-pressings of 'King Creole' (SF 8231).
Copies of the original 'SF' sleeve, containing the 1980's 'new black' label album, had a foldover sticker applied to the sleeve changing it to the 'INTS' catalogue.
This also applied to the German re-pressings of 'King Creole' (NL 83733).
Copies of the original 'NL' sleeve, containing the German Black label album, had a sticker applied to the rear of the sleeve changing it to the 'INTS' catalogue.
RCA also released a proper 'INTS' sleeve and album.
Note: The variation 2 light green label was pressed in mono and not electronic stereo.
