MINT SLEEVE AND INNER
EMBOSSED 1ST ISSUE
GENUINE UK 1ST ISSUE ON UNITED ARTISTS
The first issue of this album must com in an embossed laminated sleeve. Only the first presses were laminated and embossed, later issued were no longer embossed.
Also despite the fact that the records were issued on the Jet label, they still had the United Artists catalogue number printed in large typeface on the labels, with a smaller Jet LP catalogue number underneath in brackets
All later releases only had the Jet catalogue Number
