First UK edition does not have the inscription "A
Promotone N.V. RECORD" on labels. Promotone company was founded only a few months later in September 1971 (Amsterdam, Netherlands), while the album "Sticky Fingers" was released in April 1971.
The zipper on front cover is completely blank with 2 indented lines.
This kind of zip is made of far higher quality of metal of the usual ones, and is easy to spot & date - when compared to similar clothing zips made in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
It is a very early made one.
