Quite easily actualy:
1) The full matrix number with the name of the man who cut it if stated (DT, Spiderman, Geovani and so on).
2) The printer of the sleeve if anyone is given. + the type of cover (thin vs thick).
Just give infos and I will see if I can help (not sure tho').

Unless someone has seen this repressed at some point?

Yes, same cover, same label, also large groove under the label. But brand new still sealed in some cases.
There are still at least a detail that make the difference.
Just give all infos and I'll try to help tou.
BTW, there are several represses on Weed Beat. From memory, the othe J Clarke Set, the Dillinger One, one of the John Holt, the Dennis Brown set and perhaps few others. I told you, I saw them everywhere in Paris few years back and there are still some copies in shops I visit a lot.

Lots of Weedbeat represses to make your search confusing. Tell us the matrix and we can try to help more.
This *BRILLIANT* LP is also on Justice, with the title 'Girl I love You' - that is an original issue. The Weedbeat imprint is either an original, or can possibly be a later repressing.
Johnny Clark fans should not overlook this LP which, for me, is one of his very best LPs.
