Description
RARE! SOME EARLY 1ST UK PRESSINGS OF THIS ALBUM WERE MADE AT THE PYE TRANCO PLANT AND ALTHOUGH THE VINYL APPEARS BLACK IT IS IN FACT TRANSLUCENT RED WHEN VIEWED IN FRONT OF A STRONG LIGHT.....THIS IS ONE OF THOSE.... THIS IS A 1ST UK TRANCO PRESS VINYL LP ON DJM RECORDS PURCHASED NEW BY MY FAMILY WHEN RELEASED 56 YEARS AGO IN 1970 IDENTIFIED BY THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS: DJM RECORDS BLACK LABELS WITH YELLOW LOGO AND RIM TEXT WITH '(P) 1970....MADE IN ENGLAND' TEXT / TEXTURED GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH 'PRINTED AND MADE BY THE E J DAY GROUP LONDON AND BEDFORD' TEXT / 1ST UK PRESS MATRIXES / ORIGINAL CAT NUMBER AND NO BARCODE.
