Rodriquez - Cold Facts pressing question

Found this today and was wondering what kind of pressing this is. It doesn't really look like a recent reissue.
I have only seen the white sleeve press so far.
It's on Sussex records. Not a paste-on sleeve, not laminated.
Any info is appreciated.

There may be some other variations out there, but from the looks of it... you've got yourself a South African pressing.
He had a resurgence in popularity in the late 70's, so this may be a later South African pressing. He was also popular in Zimbabwe, so this may have been pressed (booted?) there.
That's a possibility. There's no indication in which country this was pressed or released. All the info is in english.
The only thing that is suspect is the sleeve which is indeed not laminated. It's not the kind of sleeve I would expect from a 70's pressing.
thinner with a whiteish inside
Did you pick it up in Australia?
Cause from what I understand the first wave of Cold Fact LPs where imports and then there was the local releases by Blue Goose records from Melb but they did Cold Fact (in the white cover), Coming From Reality and a Best of... with that black cold fact cover art with out the psychedelic colours at the bottom.
Ive never seen a Sussex labelled one locally (in Oz) only tons of the Blu8e goose and a bootleg one on 'Blue Beat" label... and all the Cold facts ive seen here are always white cover.
No, bought this in Holland. Usually I don't find it too hard to recognize a reissue, boot or OG. This one kind of puszzles me. I have never seen a boot of this before.
The few with black sleeves that can be found on Popsike seem to be laminated.
