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. The front cover has two different types of front openings: - The right front opening of the gatefold cover is sealed with the two sides glued together. - The right front opening of the gatefold cover is not sealed. Rear top right corner has the text (IE 064 o 05249) between SHVL 804 and "stereo" centered (later copies have it left aligned).
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". ABOUT THIS COPY
Matrix / Runout (Side A Runout, variant 1): SHVL 804 A-3 Matrix / Runout (Side B Runout, variant 1): SHVL 804 B-3 Mother indicators 2/2 - see photos
The gatefold sleeve is solid, nice inside; a bit of corner/edge rubbing and handling/storage wear generally. Great condition - has a lovely blue/black tinge too... (see comparison photo with a later issue pure black copy)
Has 2 glossy posters (band and pyramids - correct cat. no and colours for first year press) - there is a little wear/creasing on them
2 stickers with correct markings for the release in fantastic order
Labels on both sides show small signs of use, no major scratches/marks, writing etc. 
The vinyl is very clean overall, no major scuffs/prominent marks - no deep feelables - a few light usage marks / hairline surface lines from past use. Nothing that causes any issues, plays with no jumps or sticks or loud background...great!
There is occasional light background noise,  at  build ups etc., but hardly noticeable for the most part - just what is usual for a copy of this age; - overall though it still sounds punchy and fantastic. A great listen. WATCH THE 1 MINUTE CLIP OF TIME!
PLEASE VIEW THE PHOTOS AND THE CLIP; MESSAGE WITH ANY QUESTIONS RELISTED AS A BUY IT NOW DUE TO NON PAYMENT! NO RESERVE, reasonable offers considered .
