notes white labels and plain white sleeve with handwritten text.
its authenticity is not confirmed, the matrix doesn't follow the standard pattern used in german 7"s (for example: come as you are), but is also different from other fake 7"s (for example the fake german promo 7"), where it's usually handwritten.
