Matrix Code Breakdown
YMG-50054-A: This matches the catalog number for the original mono recording (1956). The "YMG" prefix is a variation used by Mercury and its international partners (like Pye in the UK) during the transition to different pressing plants in the mid-to-late 1950s.
NI Suffix: This is a specific stamper or lacquer indicator for UK Pye pressings. It confirms this particular version was produced as part of the initial run of "Living Presence" records released for the British market under the Pye label.
Features the Pye Logo:"A Product of the PYE Group Records" logo on the right side of the front cover.
Label Color: Original UK Mercury/Pye labels are maroon with silver text.
Cover Details: The front cover features the Strasbourg (1761) bronze cannon, which is unique to the 1956 mono recording.
