not sure if it applies to this 45 but usually with Alston green is first, the local (non-Atlantic dist) presses of other titles on the label are I think all green.... so theoretically for this 45 there may be 4 variants: local green label non-Atlantic dist (if one exists for this title), white label Atlantic-dist promo, Green label, Red label.....

I'm just assuming though on this one......

yeah, that's a totally different label design though, doesn't factor into this Betty Wright query. still a great cheapie

Alston's have been on a number of colours, as pumkinseed says. usually green in this period but they were just pressing up additional runs to meet demand so I'd class a red as an original too.
