1st Pressing Matrix Numbers
- 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 thick card green lyric insert.
- 'Pecko' & 'Porky' in the run-off grooves.
- 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.
Cover: Stunning Excellent+. The best I have seen in many years. No writings, doodles or seam splits. Original paper (non oly-lined) inner sleeve is Excellent.
Vinyl: Not play tested. Looks to be VG+. Would benefit from a clean to bring back to its best - not played for many years.
Labels: Near Mint.
Insert: Mint.
