An original 1st Press double vinyl LP in die-cut, top loading sleeve, fold out insert and picture inners.
Swan Song Records SSK 89400
Made in UK
Year of Release: 1975
THE RECORDS HAVE THE FIRST ISSUE SWAN SONG LABELS (with "Made in UK' text and no WB log)
MATRIX NUMBERS: SSK 89400 A1 / SSK 89400 B4 / SSK 89400 C1 / SSK 89400 D1
AND ARE HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL BOX SLEEVE
COMPLETE WITH THE TWO PICTURE INNER SLEEVES
AND GATEFOLD ‘SLIP’ INSERT (for all first issue criteria, see below)
Box Cover: The outer cover is of a top loading ‘box’ construction of thick ridged card with the following text printed on the back, top centre:
SWAN SONG / 484 KINGS ROAD, LONDON SW10
Cullderstead Ltd., trading as Swan Song
A Swan Song/Atlantic recording distributed by WEA Records Ltd., ? & © 1975
The group name, record title and catalogue number run down the left hand side spine, viewed from the front, these are printed in RED.
Inner Slip Cover: The gatefold ‘slip’ insert credits “Gothic Print Finishers Ltd., London SE9 2EQ” as the printers, along with the Swan Song SSK 89400 catalogue number and the address “SWAN SONG, 484 KINGS ROAD, LONDON SW10”
Inner Sleeves: The Inner sleeves are printed on thick card with a natural untreated grey finish to the inside surfaces. They have SSK 89400/A and SSK 89400/B respectively on the back (bottom right corner) of each of the inners. Later issues were thinner card with a smooth finish to the inside.
Labels: The labels are the easiest identifying factors for an original UK 1st issue as they should be clearly marked “Made in UK” but most importantly have NO small circular WB (Warner Brothers) Logo at the end of the bottom rim text. The WB logo was introduced onto the label in mid 1975 just a few months after the release, so any label with the WB logo is not from the very first batch of pressings
