Notes
EXTREMELY RARE - the first album to bereleased on the PHILIPS VERTIGO LABEL and as such has the distinctive status ofbeing VO 1 and for that reason alone it is an essential inclusion in anycollection.
The Vertigo variantsare all rare and only seen from time to time, but the only way to be certainthat you have the RAREST VARIANT which is this EARLIEST FIRST PRESSINGS is tomake sure the ‘A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT’ credit is printed on the bottom of the‘B’ side label between the outline VERTIGO name and ‘All Rights….’ text on thebottom perimeter - which was dropped after the FIRST ISSUE - but even moreimportant and rarer is the ‘A PHILIPS RECORDS PRODUCT’ credit, on the insidecentre spread of the gatefold bottom right, which was removed even earlier thanthe label credit. These two key featuresalong with the SWIRL INNER BAG and SWIRL LABELS - noting that the ‘A’ side hasthe original full swirl and the ‘B’ side has the large logo variant (laterre-pressing and re-issues have a smaller swirl logo and no Philips credits) -are unique to the EARLIEST FIRST ISSUES and ONLY THE VARIANT WITH ALL OF THESECHARACTERISTICS AND THE FIRST MATRICES, FIRST MOTHERS & STAMPERS LISTEDBELOW ARE FROM THE VERY EARLIEST FIRST UK ISSUE, THEY ARE ALSO PRESSED ONNOTICEABLY HEAVIER VINYL. This one is from EARLIEST ORIGINAL UK PRESS made justprior to the commercial release date in 1969 - AND JUST LOOK AT THOSE 1 & 1MOTHER & STAMPER CODES, YOU WOULD BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A MUCH EARLIERPRESSING THAN THIS..
