UK FIRST PRESSING VINYL ALBUM WITH ORIGINAL WHITE INNER SLEEVE.

Assuming that the 'G' stamper was used for Factory Samples/Promos as was often the case with EMI pressed records, this copy is likely to be the very first in-store copies ever pressed, bearing a first matrix, first mothers and only the second stampers.  One of the very first 600 or so copies ever manufactured at EMI.

MATRIX:  SIDE A:  SAPCOR 14 A-1U /  SIDE B:  SAPCOR 14 B-1U.

MOTHER / STAMPER:  SIDE A:  1 / R.  SIDE B:  1 / R.

SLEEVE: VERY GOOD, SOME CREASING, SHELF, CORNER, EDGE AND RING WEAR.   INNER SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD+ WITH NO SEAM SPLITS.

DISC: EXCELLENT MINUS. NO SCRATCHES, JUST ONE LIGHT HAIRLINES. THIS DISC LOOKS PLAYED ALL OF ONCE, IF THAT. CLEAN LABELS.
