AUSTRALIAN NUMBERING
Early sleeves had a unique five digit number stamped on the front cover prefixed with a capital “A” in a different font. Around the 61000 mark, the “A” prefix was replaced with “Nº”. The lowest and highest numbers verified in the “A” range are 00001 and 61511, and in the “Nº” range are 61392 and 94930, the latter of which was purchased in late 1970. Both mono and stereo pressings shared the same number series. Numbers are not consecutive, for despite only selling around 5,000 copies, mono copies exist with numbers in the 80000s. Evidence suggests that numbered sleeves were available as late as 1977.

The print colour used on numbered sleeves varies with no seemingly obvious pattern; some sleeves have grey print, some green, and with various shades in between. However, starting from the 70000’s and into the unnumbered period, all sleeve printing is green.
