Description
RARE! ORIGINAL COPIES OF THIS ALBUM HAD A PICTURE OF 'W F PHANG DENTAL SURGEON' SHOP FRONT TOP RIGHT (LIKE THIS COPY..KNOWN AS THE PHANG SLEEVE). THE REAL MR PHANG VERY QUICKLY OBJECTED TO THE USE OF THIS IMAGE AND EMI SENT OUT PERMANENT STICKERS FOR RETAILERS TO COVER THIS PICTURE UP WITH. THE SLEEVE WAS WITHDRAWN AND A REPRINTED VERSION ISSUED WITH A PICTURE OF A MONK TOP RIGHT (KNOWN AS THE MONK SLEEVE). SOME COPIES WERE SOLD BEFORE THE STICKERS WERE APPLIED AND ARE RARE...LIKE THIS ONE!! (SOME COPIES EXIST WHERE THE STICKER HAS BEEN REMOVED BUT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO REMOVE IT WITHOUT DAMAGING THE SLEEVE AND IT IS ALWAYS OBVIOUS THIS HAS HAPPENED).
THIS IS A GENUINE 1ST UK PRESS 'PHANG' SLEEVE DOUBLE VINYL LP RELEASED 48 YEARS AGO IN 1974 ON HARVEST RECORDS (NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH LATER REPRESSINGS AND REISSUES) IDENTIFIED BY THE FOLLOWING CHARACTERISTICS: 'W R PHANG' PICTURE TOP RIGHT OF GATEFOLD / ONE PIECE CARD GATEFOLD SLEEVE WITH TOP EDGE SEAM ONLY / ORIGINAL DIE-CUT INNERS WITH 3 ANGLED CORNERS (NOT SQUARE OR ROUND) AND NOTCHED OPENINGS / HARVEST LABELS WITH 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD....ETC' PERIMETER TEXT (NOT EMI) / EARLIEST 1ST UK PRESS -1 -1 -1 -2 MATRIXES / ORIGINAL CAT NO. ONLY GENUINE 1ST UK PRESSINGS HAVE ALL THESE CHARACTERISTICS....
