General: The images below illustrates a UK promo copy with it's pink label peeled off. This is a very interesting case.. Are all pink label promo copies like this? are the pink label promos disguised test pressings?

When I look at my promo copy, I discover that the label is very bubbely, and it is not attatched very well. I can also feel the KT marks underneath the pink label. I will not start peeling of my label, but I suggets other collectors check how theire pink label is fitted.
Bengofury have reported that his pink label promo is white underneath.

Thanks to slime.oofytv.set for his peeled label images.
