Notes

This edition has the large Decca logo without the rectangular box on light blue labels with silver print;
"Long Playing 33rpm" full frequency range recording "ffrr 'ear' logo"; Made in England · The Decca Record Co. Ltd.
Issued in a gatefold sleeve with 6-page picture booklet stapled to the centre.

The early UK pressing is identified by the tax code "KT". It MUST be present on labels and on matrix/runout, otherwise it is a later pressing, as explained here below:
Most of the Decca records has also a tax code around 12 a clock on the vinyl. This tax code is not any specific Decca code but the official code used in UK before 1973 to determinate the sales tax %.
- MT code was the official tax code in UK from January 1st to June 30th 1963.
- KT code was used in between July 1st 1963 and November 22nd 1968.
- JT code was used from November 23rd 1968 and up to April 1st 1973 when UK government took the VAT tax system into use.
If the tax code is missing, then the LP is pressed after April 1st 1973.
The dates mentioned are the official dates when the codes changed. There may be a slight overlap as it is not known how fast Decca did change the stampers to have the correct tax code. Some LP’s do have a double coding, both JT and KT on the same vinyl. These LP’s may have been pressed just about the time when the code change took place, November 1968.

A later mono pressing of The Rolling Stones - Big Hits (High Tide And Green Grass) has the rectangular 'box' logo and reissues have the booklet as an insert.
