THIS COPY IS THE EARLIEST VERSION OF THE EMI 1 BOX PRESSING WITHOUT THE TEXT "STEREO" AND "33 1/3" ON THE LABELS WHICH WAS QUICKLY RECTIFIED SO WAS POSSIBLY ONLY AVAILABLE IN 1969 ALTHOUGH THE 1 BOX PRESSING WAS AVAILABLE FOR APPROXIMATELY TWELVE MONTHS AND LABELS ALSO CARRY "MADE IN GT BRITAIN" AT THE BASE
AN EVEN RARER ISSUE IS THE SLEEVE ,EMI MADE THIS SLEEVE FROM VERY THIN CARD STOCK WITH A FULLY LAMINATED EXTERIOR AS WAS NORMALLY DONE AT THE TIME BUT PROVED TO BE NOT VERY HARDWEARING SO RETURNED TO THE STANDARD STOCK CARD POSSIBLY AT THE TIME OF THE LABEL ERRORS BEING RECTIFIED ,SO AGAIN NOT AVAILABLE FOR LONG

A TEST PLAY PRODUCED SILENT RUN INS AND SPACES WITH CLEAN AND CLEAR AUDIO
THERE IS A FIVE YEAR GAP BETWEEN THE ORIGINAL RELEASE 1964 AND THIS COPY 1969 AND TECHNOLOGY HAD IMPROVED VASTLY SO THE LATER STEREO PRESINGS ARE A MUCH BETTER LISTEN THAN THE EARLIER COPIES
THE SLEEVE IS IN CLEAN LEGIBLE CONDITION BUT DUE TO ITS THINNER CARD QUALITY SHOWS SOME RINGWEAR AND LIGHT CREASING DOWN THE SEAM EDGE FRONT AND ON THE REAR AT THE BASE THERE ARE TWO SMALL CORNER BUMPS WHICH HAVE RAISED THE LAMINATE BUT OTHERWISE THE SLEEVE HAS SURVIVED WELL OVER THE LAST 55 YEARS
WE HAVE PLAY TESTED THE RECORD AND THE AUDIO IS SUPERB QUIET RUN INS AND SPACES WITH CLEAN AND CLEAR SOUND
