Original BOOKLET included in MINT, Like New condition.

Pressed by DECCA in the same pressing and with the same stampers as the Decca UK issue. The only difference are the London labels which were used specifically for export to the US. The pressing and consequent sound quality is identical.

More specifically - and I quote:
"The sonic differences you can expect between a late 1950's / early 1970's London and its far more expensive Decca counterpart are virtually non-existent. Bearing the exact same trail-off groove etchings and  stamped 'ZAL-' matrix #s, they (DECCA and LONDON) were pressed in the same run, with only the different labels (LONDON for US and DECCA for UK)."
.
"Generally, since the U.S. and U.K. editions were contracted to hit the street on the same day, the Londons were actually the first ones pressed in order to get to the U.S. at the appointed hour. That revelation should raise some eyebrows."

One of Decca's few still-living legendary mastering engineers of the time, Mr. George Bettyes corroborates this.
.
All the information around the lead-out groove area is identical in every respect for both London and Decca. Very handy!

Superb pressing in Top Condition!

Original iconic "FULL FREQUENCY RANGE RECORDING" inner sleeves included
 -still very crisp, bright, super clean and unsplit.
.
Album kept in a protective, poly outer-sleeve.
