My copy, which I must have bought as an import into the UK, does not have the 'promo' stamp, there is not a Runout on Side A and Side B Runout, Etched BSK-2-3152-WW-3. Side B label also clearly shows that 'Sun And Moon' was composed by '(Hoenig, Duwe)'

Just to add to the comments previously posted by klockwerk:
Yes, I'm in full agreement with your assertion that this is ONE of the finest albums of the Berlin School genre. But for me, the accolade of THE finest has to go to Ashra's New Age Of Earth, with Blackouts and Correlations close behind. This album strongly references those works, as well as Tangerine Dream's classic trio Phaedra, Rubycon and Ricochet, and Edgar Froese's Aqua and Epsilon In Malaysian Pale, with future pointers to Manuel Gottsching's E2 - E4, and falls somewhere between all of them and Klaus Schulze's concurrent releases. I would also make a claim for the Jean-Michel Jarre album Waiting For Cousteau's lengthy title track putting his material in the same soundscape bracket, if not in terms of geographical location. They're all fairly interchangeable, but have an eternal and timeless quality which will be as fresh and absorbing all through the decades and even the centuries, as now.
I'm only amazed that Michael never made more music of this style and quality, as he clearly had the talent and skill to equal or outdo his contemporaries, on the evidence of this one masterpiece. Always awaited a follow-up, but it never came. The Hoenig / Gottsching album Early Water, released long after it was recorded, was a welcome return to the same genre.
