Was just surfing eBay and noticed something interesting...
I saw what looked like a spanish pressing of MFSB's "Love Is The Message" that had a gold border like the early Columbia SQ releases, such as "Abraxas" or "Indian Reservation". I don't actually have the LP, but I recalled from discogs that it had the "Quadraphonic" logo integrated into the cover art like most later SQs, and sure enough I was right!

Are there other SQ discs where international pressings have gold borders when the US versions don't? It might be fun to make a comprehensive list...
Update:
Here's another one..."Santana's Greatest Hits". I have the US version of that LP and the SQ logo is only on the back.

The back of the jacket shows a few other Spanish pressings of later SQ discs that don't usually have the gold border.
interesting...
