Similar gatefold releases printed in Germany or for german market on Discogs, ordered by approx. release order:
- 1970 or later - The first, early releases are from Atlantic, have "GEMA P.1970" on 2 o'clock on label and have a laminated gatefold. Also there is no text on back sleeve:
[url=http://www.discogs.com/release/4394668]This[/url] is probably the first, only SD7200 cat# on front sleeve and cat# on label is only ATL-SD7200
[url=http://www.discogs.com/release/5140217]This[/url] is prob. the 2nd, has "50 001" & "SD 7200" on front sleeve, label also mentions cat# "50 001"

- 1972 or later - Followed by later releases where main cat# on label is "ATL 50 001" as [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/2675429]this Kinney release[/url] from probably late 1972 with bold "WEA" letters on label, but two lines of circled text.
[url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1364101]This WEA release [/url] probably dates from 1973 - already a WEA release, 2 lines of label text, still no label code, no distribution codes.
There is also [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/4808949] this leathered sleeve version [/url], already from WEA and [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/4160964]another release from Kinney[/url] that are said to have only SD7200 cat# on front (early release) - proper pictures are missing to verify.
Probably followed by [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/4403386] this laminated gatefold WEA version [/url] which still has no LC, but already (U) as distribution code on front sleeve - so approx. between '74 and '76.

- 1976 or later - Then releases all have a label code (LC), german distribution code (Z), label mentions Warner Communications - and also there is text on back sleeve. Sleeve is non-laminated for all following releases:
The only and probably oldest one with LC, but still no distribution code for France on front sleeve is [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/10138533]this GEMA release [/url](THE CURRENTLY VIEWED VERSION), while [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/2173999]this SACEM[/url] and [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/5622837]this GEMA release [/url] both have "WE341" as code for France on front sleeve now.

On before mentioned versions the LC is at 2 o'clock on label, while all following/later releases have LC in bottom area of label.

- 1984 or later - All versions have GEMA/BIEM from this on:
[url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1963563]This version[/url] is the last one where cat# on label is "ATL 50 001" (from 1984), but first with three lines of circled text on label rim (in three languages).
Later the cat# on label is "K 50 001" as in [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/9945849]this release [/url] that distribution code for France "WE 341", while "WE 361" is on [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/7963943]this later version[/url].
Finally there is [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/3359022]the only version with barcode[/url], also with "WE 361" - and the only one not mentioning the 2nd cat# "ST-A 701829" on label which is probably the youngest.
