I bought this LP new in October 1974.

Pressing Rings 38mm (Capitol, Jacksonville Ill)

Vinyl weight 3 7/8 oz, 109-110g

0 - Capitol, Jacksonville Ill pressing


A 9 on back cover, lower right is the ID for the Modern Album Finishing Co, which printed the cover.


cvinyl has these rainbow-stripe labels as late 1968/early 1969 to 1970.

bsnpubs shows no releases for Tower later than 1970.

discogs has Tower Records as a subsidiary of Capitol, active from 1964 to 1970


Sift the information on Discogs and this copy is probably a 1969 Capitol Jacksonville Ill pressing.


What a hoot we have here.  Starts out with a Who/Kinks-like ‘See Emily Play’ and ends up with ‘Interstellar Overdrive’ which any hardcore band would have been proud of.  A real solid plant for a first album.


Who was it to label the spine with The Pink Floyd?  


A first album to be proud of.  Very well kept copy.
