GEORGE HARRISON - ALL THINGS MUST PASS

** MEGA RARE FIRST UK PRESS BOX SET!! **

** ONE OF THE FIRST 200 MADE!! **

MATRIX Nos: ALL ENDING -1U/-1U/-1U/-1U/-1U/-1U

This box is one of the earliest possible and has some amazing differences to all later pressings.

All first pressings of this box were 'Made In Great Britain' and far deeper than the later 'U.S.' boxes that followed.
The other difference is that the First Press boxes have a 'Leather effect' texture which the later 'Made In Great Britain' Boxes didn't.
But the real difference that identifies this box as one of the first few hundred made is the fact it has a plain cardboard bottom and a ULTRA RARE ORANGE CARDBOARD INSERT, whereas all later pressings had a white bottom. Apparently an ex EMI employee confirmed that the idea of th insert was almost immediately dropped due to production costs and it was decided that the later boxes would be lined in white, so this means that there were literally only a few hundred copies ever pressed with the Orange insert!!

A previous copy that was sold on eBay with some more info can be found here..
