THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE 2nd PRESSING WHICH SOME SAY IS EVEN RARER THAN THE  SOLID BLUE TRIANGLE ! WHEN THE 1st Pressed SOLID BLUE TRIANGLE WAS REGARDED TOO DIFFICULT TO READ THE TRACK LISTING ! IT WAS RE-PRESSED WITH THIS LABEL VARIANT BUT ONLY FOR  A VERY SHORT PERIOD BEFORE BEING CHANGED TO THE MORE  COMMON 3rd VARIATION ( which I have also listed !!! )THERE ARE SEVERAL KEY ELEMENTS WHICH IDENTIFY THIS  1 : THE OUTER BLUE OF THE TRIANGLE IS THE EXACT SAME SHADE / COLOUR AS THE SOLID  BLUE 1st PRESSES !!! ( 3rd Variations are deeper / darker blue ) 2: AT 10 O'CLOCK IT HAS THE GRAMMOPHONE RIM TEXT ( 3rd Variations have EMI text ) 3: AT 6 O'CLOCK JUST ABOVE THE OUTER RIM TEXT , IT HAS THE MADE IN GT BRITAIN TEXT (3rd Variations have this at the end of the bottom outer rim text ! ) 4: MATRIX NOs A-3 / B-2 ( 3rd Variations used numbers 3 to 9 ) 5: THESE WERE HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL MIDNIGHT BLUE / RIGHT SIDE OPENING ONLY ,1ST ISSUE COVERS ! 6: COMPLETE WITH 1st ISSUE BLACK INNER 7: ISSUED WITH ORIGINAL POSTERS (WHITE BORDER ) 8: ISSUED WITH ORIGINAL POSTCARD / STICKERS ( Either horizontal or Permanant waved back )
