Subterranean Jungle – the european pressings

In april it's 30 years since the release of Subterranean Jungle. The album was an odd one in many ways, it starts with two cover versions, the Music Explosion's Little Bit O'Soul and The Boyfriends I Need Your Love. Joey Ramone is suddenly called Joe Ramone on the credits. Dee Dee is singing a whole song (Time Bomb). And it's the last album with Marky on the drums before he was replaced with Richie Ramone. Marky plays on all tracks besides the third cover on the album, Time Has Come Today. Billy Rogers from Johnny Thunders band replaced Marky on that one.

Still it's a great album, in fact I don't think Ramones did a better album after this one.
The record was released in april 1983 and once again it didn't became the success the band had hoped for. Subterranean Jungle reached number 83 on the Billboard album music chart.
I have tried to sort out the different pressings of the record (no re-releases) and start with the european releases. Here we have another new thing, most of the versions are pressed at the Record Service GmbH in Alsdorf, Germany. The sleeves are the same and they all have the same inner-sleeve with lyrics but to the right of the STEREO mark on the labels you can see for which market the record is pressed.
This is the different versions I have found:
