Description

Hard to find album. This is a 1972 reissue going by the catalogue number and label variation but it has the first pressing matrix of P-2W and P-4W so maybe a transitional record. Either way it's a rare thing. Some light scratches and a couple of lights scuffs but nothing that effects the play.

Notes

Transitional issue (circa 1972) label variant, with the 'SKL-R 5052' catalog number, dark blue boxed Decca labels.

This version:
'? 1970' right of the hole (above matrix number) on the Side 1 label, but at bottom centre on Side 2 (like earlier pressings);
The recut '-3W/-5W' matrices in the deadwax;
'Aristocrat Music' is positioned on the left side but right-justified on both labels.

Released in a front-laminated single sleeve.
First catalog number on sleeve, second on labels.
Sleeve printed in England by Robert Stace.
Laminated with ‘Clarifoil’ made by British Celanese Limited.
© 1970 The Decca Record Company Limited, London.

Date inferred from the fact that Decca started to put the publishing year next to the catalogue number on the right side of the label around June 1972. Being a 'transitional' pressing with '? 1970' still at the bottom on Side 1, the given year should be accurate.

– – – – – – – –

This record was never published with 'unboxed' Decca labels.

Decca had the publishing year at the bottom of the boxed labels from 1969 to 1972. It was moved to the right side of the label, by the catalogue number, around June 1972.
