So does anyone know the difference between the two back covers yet?

In one the credits are centered in the other they are left aligned-

I sold my handpainted copy of this single by the way... $585
It was to fund my purchase of a Lyon 2003 Poster...

Well the one with the talons is it on the 3rd man site or no? Where was that seen? Because people who picked up the records from the store didn't have talons, right?

So apparently the sleeve with the talons will be the second press-

We here at Third Man have our chests pumping from the adrenaline of selling out of 2000 copies of our first release (the Dead Weather’s “Hang You From the Heavens”) in a mere matter of days. We’re so electrified that the second pressing, complete with Poe-worthy, bird-talon back cover artwork is already at the factory.

Subtle Trophy Wife from RJ and EMEK's Go back in the background. Nice Poops and welcome to the board. You didn't happen to guess F in that Theivery Corp contest as well?

So I guess we got our answer regarding the strange second back cover with talons. Didn't take them long to get rolling on a second press.

First press: 2000 copies
Second press: ?
