Tracklisting & More Information

As previously stated there has been much confusion between this original first pressing and the later 1972 issue with a very similar label design. The only way to tell the two apart is the minor label differences.

The later issue has the timings of the songs in brackets and the text 'Island Records Ltd' on the right hand side of the label next to the publishing date while this first issue has the song timings left open (no brackets). The later issue also has Joe Boyd's production credit printed on two lines rather than just the one, and removes the 'stereo' notation.

Both issues are found with -1 matrix numbers in the run out groove.
The machine stamped matrix numbers are:
ILPS 9134 A -1U
ILPS 9134 B -1U

The condition of this first pressing is remarkable, especially considering that it is 45 years old. The vinyl has that 'just pressed' lustre and the labels are clear and bright with no spindle marks.

The 'pinched spine' sleeve was manufactured by EJ Day and has a matte textured finish with the Island 'i' logo and Basing Street address printed by the bottom edge on the reverse and is complete with original blue inner with pink 'i' logo and address.

There's just the merest signs of wear along the the spine and one very small area of wear along the opening edge.
