Early 1st Pressing Stampers

 

  • 1st pressing unlaminated non-gatefold cover is made by E J Day (stated on the rear cover) which also states  "Marketed by B & C Records, 37 Soho Square, London W1" just above the E J Day credit. Only genuine 1st pressing covers have these credits. Later covers were pressed by James Upton Ltd.
  • Double sided lyric insert.
  • 'Pecko' & 'Porky' Ray in the run-off grooves. Later pressings had  just 'Pecko' on one side or omitted both names.
  • The labels have the large Mad Hatter logo with the hand adjacent to the spindle hole. Later pressings on the smaller Mad Hatter label had the hand much higher. 
  • The labels state "Manufactured and Distributed by B & C Records Ltd" at the base of the label. Later pressings omitted the B&C credits.
  • Heavy duty thick 1st pressing vinyl.

This pressing has all of the above 1st pressing features.

 

Cover: Excellent. E J Day unlaminated 1st pressing non-gatefold cover. No writings, doodles or seam splits. Original paper (non poly-lined inner sleeve) is Near Mint.

 

Vinyl: Excellent+. Barely played - stunning for a 37 year old vinyl. Lovely sheen and only the faintest whisps fof paper lines from the inner sleeve under a strong light. I only played this 3 or 4 times.

 

Labels: Near Mint.

Insert: Excellent+.

Very Good - The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratches.

Good - The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches.
