HW's USA Kings Of Speed promo 45s

[mike coleman]

I lied. The reason  I jumped in on this is that I thought it ws my "q", and
since I did, I cannot be guilty of giving out any completely WRONG info. My
memory is foggy now, there may only be 2 versions and I suspect a third. But
there is DEFINITELY 2, which now confirms 4, if you follow me.
My suspicions are that the 2 Plug copies are the same as the nons, except
for the promotional  label and plug label
Anyway, thank you for causing a discovery
The non-plug copies are worth 10 dollars
There is a reason the plug copies went for the money they did
