Description
This is the second pressing on heavy vinyl with dark green Apple logo and darker green edge writing. Subsequent pressings had lighter green.
The Garrod & Lofhouse laminated sleeve is on heavier card than later pressings, and particular to this and the first boxed set pressing are that the laminate ends just short of the opening edge of the sleeve on both sides. This sleeve introduces the green apple logo on the rear.
The inner sleeves were thick white paper with 'Made in England', rounded edges and, 'Patent Nos. 1,125,555'. Later pressings added the EMI logo and further lettering and were usually on thinner paper.
Matrix / Runout (Runout Side A, variant): YEX 773-3U GLA
Matrix / Runout (Runout Side B, variant): YEX 774-2U CHP
The vinyl is in really good condition with only surface marks. It plays near excellent, with just modest crackle in quiet places. The label area has a “BB Hole” I found out this indicates this was a sale by the distributor of discounted resale stock & therefore cannot be returned. I don’t know why there is pieces of sticky tape on the label, maybe also to do with returns policy? Similarly the sleeve, which would be in very good condition, has bits of tape in the corners for no apparent reason, the inner label was similarly adorned with lots of sticky tape, although I have provided a good quality EMI brand replacement.
In summary, a great album to listen to and even better if you a fan of sellotape (or scotch tape, if you’re buying from the USA)
