Does your copy state "copyright 1979" on page 2? I have a copy of that seems identical but states "copyright 1978" on page 2. It was however, obviously released later since the artwork is dated 1979 (pages 4 and 20).

just a further note on the above. wile i had the cover out, i checked the pic very closely....looked at the name/date at the bottom right with a magnifying glass. you know the "9" actually does look like an 8 that has been written with a thickish pen and the ink has blotched slightly....

check it yourself - what do you think?
