Description

ON THE ORIGINAL YELLOW & BLACK UK PARLOPHONE LABEL PCS 3071 FROM 1965 IN STEREO. THE SLEEVE HAS SOME VERY MINOR EDGE CREASES AND AGE DISCOLOURATION TO THE OPENING EDGE IN FRONT. THE REAR OF THE GARROD & LOFTHOUSE SLEEVE HAS NO WRITINGS, JUST SOME FINGERPRINT MARKS AROUND THE OPENING (SEE PICS), SO EX MINUS/VG+ CONDITION. THE RECORD IS VG/VG+ VISUALLY, BUT AS IS ALWAYS THE CASE WITH THESE SUPERB BRITISH FIRST PRESSINGS PLAYS MUCH BETTER, PROBABLY EX. LOVELY INTIMATE SOUND

HOWEVER, WHAT MAKES THIS PRESSING OF PARTICULAR INTEREST IS THE "MT" TAX CODE AROUND THE SPINDLE HOLE ON THE SIDE TWO LABEL. THIS TAX CODE RAN FROM JANUARY TO JULY 1963 AND WAS THEN SUPPLANTED BY THE MORE FAMILIAR AND LONG-RUNNING "KT" CODE, QUITE HOW MANY WERE ISSUED BY MISTAKE IN THIS RUN IS IMPOSSIBLE TO SAY, IT'S THE FIRST ONE OF IT'S KIND THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS IN OVER 30 YEARS OF COLLECTING.

MATRIX NUMBERS ARE 168/1 AND 169/1

MOTHER/STAMPERS ARE 2/2 AND OD/OR
