Other features
UK version
- Revolution 1 Northern Songs
- Revolution 9 Northern Songs
- OB-LA-DI, OB-LA-DA
- Spine lettering – Stereo PCS 7067-8; Mono PCM 7-67-8
- The rear of the sleeve does have the Stereo logo, fully readable
Vinyl visual condition – looks good, a few very light surface marks. But no system available to play these, so sorry, cannot offer any guarantees on the sound quality.
These are rare for collectors, the 180g Audiophile re-mastered versions would be the better bet for everyday playing
Background
- The album was released on November 22, 1968
- This is one of the original pressings. Initial pressings came in a top loading sleeve with black inners, which were removed around 1969/1970 when the album had a side opening sleeve with white inners
I may add a buy it now price if anyone wants to make a reasonable offer.
Thanks for looking and good luck.
