==LP Release==
The LP in clear vinyl was available in several editions and different versions.
The most noticeable thing, if you look at sales offers, is that there were both covers and labels in different colors.
The cover, a transparent PVC cover printed on one side only, was available in these three variations:

File:CoverBlack.png|Big black letters
File:CoverBlack3.png|Small black sticker, handmade by the band
</gallery>
 
The labels of the record which was also made of transparent PVC were available in these variations:
<gallery>
File:LabelRedA.png|Red+Silver
File:LabelLimeA.png|Lemongreen+Silver
File:LabelBlackA.png|Black+White
File:LabelWhite2.png|Blank Unprinted
</gallery>
 
There were also many different inserts and posters.

File:RockGegenAlles.jpg|"Rock gegen Alles" Logo

</gallery>
In addition, the current [[Schneeball]] catalogue was often included.<br />
This listing is most likely incomplete, on Discogs for example there is mention of a blue and a light green cover, which I have never seen before.
Cover, label and inserts were available in all possible combinations, cover and label mostly red+red, black+black, but not always.
 
Quote: ''fannydad'' on [https://www.discogs.com/de/release/6809181-Checkpoint-Charlie/history#latest Discogs]:
''I found some pieces of the "Same" album on a record fair. In some of them were handwritten letters from Uwe von Trotha. In one of them, adressed to a guy who worked in a record store Uwe von Trotha described the differences of the issues of this record. He wrote about the three different covercolours, the labelcolours and the different inserts. The inserts were randomly use for all covers. [...] "Wir haben sie irgendwie reingesteckt ...durcheinander" ''
 
[[File:Clearvergleich.jpg|thumb|Compared to the 1979 version, the 1999 post-pressing was thicker and more milky]]
In 1999 there was a [https://www.discogs.com/de/Checkpoint-Charlie-Checkpoint-Charlie/release/3664285 reprint] on heavier, slightly milky vinyl, without cover and with unprinted labels, but with a reprint of the first poster.
There's also a version called "[https://www.discogs.com/de/Checkpoint-Charlie-Checkpoint-Charlie-Live-on-stage/release/11517081 Checkpoint Charlie Live on Stage]" on Discogs, but I guess that's just an original record that has been written on with Edding (by whoever).
