Description
RARE! THE VERY FIRST COPIES OF THIS ALBUM FEATURED A PHOTOGRAPH OF A DENTISTS SHOP WINDOW WITH THE NAME 'W R PHANG' DISPLAYED. THE REAL MR W R PHANG IMMEDIATELY OBJECTED TO THE UNAUTHORISED USE OF HIS NAME AND DEMANDED IT BE WITHDRAWN. HARVEST RECORDS RESPONDED QUICKLY BY SENDING OUT STICKERS TO RETAILERS TO COVER UP THE IMAGE (OR RETURN UNSOLD STOCK) AND THEN CHANGED THE IMAGE TO A MONK ON ALL SUBSEQUENT PRESSINGS. SOME COPIES WERE SOLD BEFORE THE STICKERS ARRIVED (LIKE THIS ONE) AND SOME COPIES WERE SOLD WITH THE STICKER. THIS STICKER IS IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE WITHOUT DAMAGING THE COVER AND YOU WILL SEE THESE COPIES (WITH THE DAMAGE) FOR SALE BUT GENUINE ORIGINAL UNDAMAGED COPIES LIKE THIS ONE ARE RARE AND GETTING RARER!...
SUPERB! RARE GENUINE 1ST UK PRESS DOUBLE VINYL LP ON HARVEST RECORDS PURCHASED NEW BY ME WHEN RELEASED 51 YEARS AGO IN 1973 (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH ANY OTHER PRESSINGS) IDENTIFIED BY THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS; HARVEST RECORDS LABELS WITH 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD...ETC' (NOT EMI) AND 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN' PERIMETER TEXT / ORIGINAL CAT NUMBERS / GATEFOLD 'PHANG' SLEEVE WITH ORIGINAL DIE-CUT INNERS WITH 3 ANGLED CORNERS (NOT SQUARE OR ROUND) AND NOTCHED OPENINGS / 1ST UK PRESS -1 -1 -1 -2 MATRIXES / NO BARCODE. ONLY GENUINE 1ST UK PRESSINGS HAVE ALL THESE CHARACTERISTICS....
THE VINYLS ARE BRIGHT AND GLOSSY AND IN NEAR MINT CONDITION WITH NO SCRATCHES BLEMISHES OR SCUFFS. THE VINYLS LIE FLAT WITHOUT WARPS-VERY HARD TO FIND A SIMILAR COPY!! THE HARVEST RECORDS LABELS ARE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY A VERY FAINT 'BARELY THERE' SPINDLE LINE. THE SLEEVE TOGETHER WITH ITS ORIGINAL INNERS IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH NO EDGE SPLITS TO ANY SLEEVE WITH ONLY LIGHT SHELF AND EDGE WEAR. THE SPINE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH PERFECTLY LEGIBLE TEXT. THIS IS AS GOOD AS IT GETS I RECKON...VERY LITTLE TO SHOW FOR ITS 51 YEARS!! THE CATALOGUE NUMBER IS SHDW 403 (SLEEVE) AND SHSP 4031 AND SHSP 4032 (INNERS + LABELS) WITH 1ST UK PRESS MATRIX NUMBERS YAX 3419-1 1 AH & YAX 3420-1 2 OP AND YAX 3633-1 3 MD & YAX 3634-2 1 WP.
