George Harrison Somewhere in England
around 1982
"Dark Horse Records" Manufacturer unknown


Over my several years of collecting I've been able to collect three variants of this specific release. One with the Dark Horse label and titles, another with a promotional label, and a third with blank black labels. All have similar covers.
This particular pressing is the one with the untitled black center labels. The vinyl is in very clean condition, at least a VG+ or better. The jacket is beautiful (the replication of the artwork is really well done) though it does have some kind of aberrations along the entire length of the top edge. It appears as though it may have been slightly distressed against something and created a pattern of marks. Otherwise it's still in very good shape. It was like that when I bought it. No tears no bends. I took an additional photo of the mouth of the jacket to show the way in which it was manufactured. Please see the photos for a closer inspection,

This is obviously for the George completest.  

Visual grading only:

Cover VG+ great shape some slight wear and rubs with that aberration along the top edge
Vinyl VG++ very clean with slight rubs and scuffs
