Tracklisting & More Information

So often second and third pressings are sold as originals by unknowing sellers when there are very distinct differences between the 1968 pressings and the later 1970/71 pressings on the Track label.

Firstly, the 1st issue Track labels have a slightly different texture to the paper, but the main difference on the labels is the catalogue numbers. On the left side of the centre hole, the catalogue number is repeated in brackets above the bold silver print in smaller inverted numbers. These end with a capital 'A' or 'B' per side, on both records' labels. This is ONLY found on the first pressing.

The 1st issue gatefold cover has huge differences, the colour tones on the naked ladies are far deeper, with an almost green tinge to the flesh colours, often found on the spine as well.
The most obvious of all is found inside the gatefold. The Track logo, tracklisting, copyright information and 'EJ Day' address are all in a very vivid shade of blue. Every post 1968 issue had the graphics in a white colour.
Above the blue titles are two pictures of Mitch & Noel. In a 1st issue cover they are large sized photos, but all later covers have them reduced to a very small size. This too was the format for later Polydor label issues.

CONDITION

The black labels are clean with sharp silver print.

The vinyl is lightly marked in places but plays well without pops, clicks or jumps. This is due to the high grade heavyweight vinyl used in the '60s with deep grooves. Despite being 40 years old it retains a nice lustre.

The matrix numbers are:
Side A - 613008A//1
Side B - 613009A//1
Side C - 613009B//1
Side D - 613008B//1

These are machine stamped in the 'dead wax' areas with hand scratched amendments - there appeared to be slight confusion at the pressing plant as the sides were configured in the American style, i.e. Sides A and D are on the first disc, Sides B and C on the second.

The laminated gatefold picture sleeve has one major crease across the bottom right corner, but is in otherwise excellent condition, with just a little light ringwear, unworn edges and intact spine.

A much sought after edition of this classic album in very respectable condition!
