Released in a front laminated gatefold sleeve with the disc housed in the rear opening and the front opening is glued shut with no inner flap.
The backcover states printing date 6911 (November 1969). This was clearly in advance of the 1970 release date.

2. 'SYD BARRETT' appears just above the 'HARVEST' logo at 9 o'clock. Later pressings move this higher up the label.
3. Side 2 label has credits 'Barrett except + Joyce'. Later pressings have 'Barrett + Joyce'.
4. On each label side there is no gap between 'Lupus Music Ltd' and 'Produced by...' Later labels have a gap.

- Matrix / Runout (Side B Runout stamped): SHVL 765 B-2G
CONDITION - SLEEVE / RECORD VG / VG - Record plays jump/scratch free but has the some surface noise,odd click & some deep looking marks that play over. Overall a nice listen(STILL HITS THE SPOT!) of a near 50yrs old ORIGINAL ARTEFACT ! LONG LIVE VINYL!
