Notes

Release Date: March 24, 1973

Release Information: 
Original stereo issue with a very dark blue cover, and a solid light blue triangle (prism) on the label with "The Gramophone Co., Ltd." text on the edge of the label.

Description: Gatefold cover.

Front Cover: Very dark blue with prism. The front cover has been found with three different types of front openings:
1) The right front opening of the gatefold cover is sealed with the two sides glued together.
2) The right front opening of the gatefold cover is sealed with a fold over flap that is glued inside the opening.
3) The right front opening of the gatefold cover is not sealed - this is my version.

Back Cover: Inverted prism. In the upper right corner, it says: "SHVL 804, (IE 064-05249), stereo."

Inner Sleeve: Die-cut black polylined inner sleeve with patent numbers and "Made in Great Britain" in silver at the bottom.

Inserts:
1) Pyramid Poster: Blue pyramid. There is no catalog number on the poster. Matte or glossy.
2) Group Poster: A six-pane group shot poster in landscape style with "SHVL 804" in the bottom right corner. Matte or glossy.
3) Stickers: Issued with two stickers, one yellow and one brown.

Labels: Black Harvest label with solid light blue triangle (prism). Text around the top edge of the label starts at 10 o'clock and says: The Gramophone Co. Ltd. All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Text around the bottom edge of the label starts at 8 o'clock and says: Made in Gt. Britain Unauthorised public performance, broadcasting, and copying of this record prohibited. Please note this is not the very rare G1 Press version of this record Condition: I have tried to take the best pictures I can and I am not a professional. I bought this is good faith as Vinyl Mint and Cover Excellent but in honesty, it is more of a Vinyl Excellent+ and Cover Very Good.
Vinyl has light sleeve based scratches but is still very glossy and plays well (now in an E-STAT within the original Sleeve) Cover is a bit faded but no real bad damage apart from a small area of black pen on the inner sleeve on the left top that I assume has been used to cover up some damage, not very noticeable but annoying. This is a 45 year old piece of music history that I really do not want to sell but circumstances mean that I need to sell this now. 
Shipping: Will be very well packaged and insured that will required to be signed for.
