First catalogue number on cover and labels, second (EMI international catalogue number) in parentheses on cover back.
Cover swopping is common on this LP so it is important to define a 1st press cover correctly:
• Original releases have a darker fully textured gatefold cover (depicting five b&w live photos inside) - the texturing is deep and defined, the spine is thicker, and the cover is thick. The opening edges have one 'flat sealed' at the factory, and the other open. The cover is also of '1 piece' manufacture - folding over at the bottom and glued internally at the top.
Any cover that is thinner, has small texturing or less defined texturing, is paler, is smooth, is a '2 piece' cover (glued internally at the top and bottom), or has 1 edge 'folded over' and factory sealed is a later cover and is not original.
Labels:
• 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd.' appears at the beginning of the circular text on both labels - later copies have 'EMI Records' instead.
• 'Made in Gt. Britain' appears at the bottom of both labels.
A2 appears as "No No No" on cover, but as "No, No, No" on label.
A4 appears as "Anyone's Daughter" on cover, but as "Anyones Daughter" on label.
