There appears to be several different pressings in circulation. 
One pressing has side A pressed with the original master; the run-out grooves state: "DID2-A1" and  "Easy on the white noise". Side B appears to have been pressed with a new master as the run-out grooves state: "DID2-B2" and repeats "Easy on the white noise".

Another pressing has "DID2-A2" and "The words were on the ceiling" on side A and "DID2-B2" and "Easy on the white noise" on side B.
