I found this album in the attic when we moved into our house.

Manufactured and distributed in Australia by E.M.I. (Australia) Limited.

GENERAL ALBUM INFORMATION In 1967, EMI (Australia) did not have the facilities to replicate gatefold sleeves or print album inserts, so both were imported from the UK. It appears that at least two separate import batches were received from the UK; the first, just prior to release, consisted of original "widespine" sleeves (with "Patents Pending" text on the rear); the second batch, received sometime during 1968, were the normal-width spine sleeves (without the "Patents Pending" text). While the "widespine" sleeve is uncommon, and therefore highly-prized, in the UK, it's actually the sleeve that's the most common in Australia.
This album doesnt have the patents pending text on it however that doesnt take into account the widespine/normal spine/patents pending/no patents cover variations that were circulated in Australia.
Any questions just mail me, Item will be sent with Royal Mail second class. If you require a tracking number and signed for in the UK i will work it out for you and invoice you. If you are elsewhere in the world do not pay i will work it out and invoice you as i will send it via registered mail to be signed for!
HAPPY BIDDING!
