Notes/Description: This is a U.S made pressing that was destined for early export to UK. New labels were not printed but the rights to the Columbia logo were owned by someone else in UK (EMI from memory), so instead they censored the labels as you can see. I have come across this method a few times before with Columbia. The vinyl is shiny and very close to NM with just a few faint lines and the sound is truly stunning! The typically fragile US sleeve has the usual problem of worn through seam at the top for a couple of inches but the artwork and rest of the sleeve is in very nice condition - conservatively graded.
