Description
The label and the matrices best match a 1971 reissue, although I can't find the specific matrices discogs, which are:
Matrix / Runout (Side 1 (Stamped), Variant 1): T I XSM 47458-1BC ㅇ Matrix / Runout (Side 2 (Stamped), Variant 1): XSM 47459-1AD I T
Note: there are 2 more matrix impressions - can't tell what they are. Also, there's a curious indented triangle on the Side 2 label (manufacturing defect?).
Jacket with light corner wear, lighter edge wear, no splits, marks or rings. There is light age-toning around the edges on the back jacket. Also, there is a "4" bottom right of back jacket, and interestingly, the word "BLUE" on back jacket near the spine outside the paste-on back jacket liner notes. I thought this was a previous owner mark until I saw the same marking (and the same "4") on a 1971 discogs reissue listing.
LP stored in plain white inner sleeve, LOOKS QUITE PLAYABLE with maybe a faint scratch or scuff over clean vinyl, I'll conservatively grade VG++ to NM, closer to NM.
