Second Issue.
These copies were produced for a short time only, between first pressing and first repress, featuring earliest use of the new black Harvest "blue outline prism" label design. These early transitional pressings, still have on labels the rim text starting as "The Gramophone Co. Ltd", and have been found with vinyl matrix A2/B2 or A3/B2 or A3/B3.
Gatefold cover of these copies come with two shade of color: very dark blue or black. Many copies have been released with a sticker on front, although some do not have it.
Original set includes two A2-sized posters and 2 stickers. Stickers have two different types of text on the back: - "FasPrint Permanent" & "Crack Back Patented". - "Permanent".
Some copies have a die-cut black polylined inner sleeve with patent number "1125555 1072844" and "Made in Great Britain" in silver at the bottom.

mother/stamper (9 o'clock/3 o'clock) - Side one = 3/GTH Side two = 1M (low)
The gatefold sleeve has a nice blue/black tinge, hype sticker intact on the front, great spine. There is a bit of rubbing /cracking some ringwear on back, inside the gatefold is very good, light rubbing from usage - please view all the photos.
The 2 posters and 2 stickers are both present, and in great condition, never used stickers a little faded , the band poster has a little wear on folds and round edges - still ,rare to have them at all - please see photos
Original black inner sleeve as per first issue is present and in fantastic condition with poly lining intact! Not all second issues had this so it is a real bonus...
Labels have a little rubbing in the very centre, not very noticeable though and they are clean, unmarked with writing , no rips - very nice. The labels tick the boxes as per the above ref for release: - "The Gramophone Co. Ltd" on upper rim text - World Copyrights below prism - Made in Gt. Britain above lower rim text (and not repeated at end of that text as a 3rd press would have)
The vinyl shows a bit of its past use, the odd drop mark , very light harilines - you have to look hard to see them though it is in great condition overall
It plays through really well. As you'd expect there is some light crackle, especially in quiet spots, a bit of bg noise on Us and Them e.g. , the powerful bits sounded fantastic! All in all a really good set and fantastic to listen to...
Please view all the photos...as well as read the above description - all in all a really fabulous set!
More vinyl listed please take a look; happy to combine orders for UK buyers and GSP for overseas.
