CLIFF RICHARD

ME AND MY SHADOWS

ORIGINAL UK FIRST MONO PRESSING ON THE
GREEN COLUMBIA RECORD LABEL RELEASED IN 1960 CAT. NO 33SX 1261.

THE FIRST PRESS MATRIX NUMBERS ARE XAX 1967-1N & XAX 1968-1N WITH MOTHER STAMPERS 1 AT 9 O'CLOCK ON SIDE ONE AND 1 AT 9 O'CLOCK ON SIDE 2. THERE CAN BE NO DOUBT THAT THIS IS THE VERY EARLIEST PRESSING. TAX CODE STAMPS ARE "WET". LET ME EXPLAIN. VERY OCCASIONALLY, AND QUITE RARELY, THERE ARE 3 LETTERS. WITHIN THE ACTUAL CHANGEOVER PERIOD DURING A REVISED TAX RATE IT WAS NOT EFFECTIVE TO DISCARD THE RECENT PRESSING PLATES(STAMPERS) SO THE NEW FIRST LETTER WAS ADDED. THE PURPOSE OF ADDING A NEW LETTER IMMEDIATELY WAS SO THAT RETAILERS WHO RETURNED UNSOLD STOCK WOULD BE CREDITED WITH THE SAME AMOUNT OF TAX THAT WAS PAID FOR THE SAID RECORDS. THE"ET" TAX CODE RAN FROM 8 APRIL 1959 AND WAS SUPERCEDED BY THE "WT" TAX CODE IN AUGUST 1960, SO THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE HERE AN "E" AT 9 O'CLOCK AND A "T" AT 3 O'CLOCK WITH THE NEW TAX RAT "W" ADDED AT 12 O'CLOCK.
