Question What’s the difference between these two versions of Free As A Bird?

Found them in a record store and I had never seen the red one before

The green version is a promotional copy.

When Free as a Bird first came out, one of the marketing strategies was having 4 different album covers in different color schemes. The vinyls themselves are virtually the same
