Some UK LPs for Reading came with a Rough Trade press sheet.
Some copies of Reading were used as promos with an Appearing press release and contact sticker on front sleeve.
Some copies of Reading were also used by Hall or Nothing, including their own press release.
Notes: Issued in a plain black polylined inner sleeve (some copies with a label hole, most copies with no hole).
Some copies were utilized as promos typically accompanied with a press sheet on the band; some of these copies have a sticker on the front sleeve with contact info for the publicity firm while others may have a hole punch. The SUNDAYS must have engaged at least two different publicity firms at one point for 'Reading' - Appearing and Hall or Nothing Press.

Some copies also exist where, in addition to the runout information above, also has ADRENALIN hand-etched on both sides, albeit very lightly. Adrenalin Records, Ltd. was a vinyl pressing plant facility based in Berkshire, operating between 1986-1998.
Guessing that the ADRENALIN pressings are subsequent pressings vs the non-ADRENALIN - only because all of the early release promo copies of the LP are seemingly non-ADRENALIN pressings.
Are ADRENALIN pressings rarer or harder to find? Hard to say but it doesn't seem to be the case based on previous sales, current listings and general scarcity (not that hard to find vs the non-Adrenalin).
