Notes
Original UK release.
First catalogue number on cover and labels, second (EMI international catalogue number) in parentheses on cover back.
Cover swopping is common on this LP so it is important to define a 1st press cover correctly:
• Original releases have a darker fully textured gatefold cover (depicting five b&w live photos inside) - the texturing is deep and defined, the spine is thicker, and the cover is thick. The opening edges have one 'flat sealed' at the factory, and the other open. The cover is also of '1 piece' manufacture - folding over at the bottom and glued internally at the top.
Any cover that is thinner, has small texturing or less defined texturing, is paler, is smooth, is a '2 piece' cover (glued internally at the top and bottom), or has 1 edge 'folded over' and factory sealed is a later cover and is not original.
Labels:
• 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd.' appears at the beginning of the circular text on both labels - later copies have 'EMI Records' instead.
• 'Made in Gt. Britain' appears at the bottom of both labels.
Initial quantities contain a thick paper lyrics insert printed in purple on both sides - this was discontinued in 1973.
All original pressings are housed in a polylined EMI/Harvest paper inner sleeve depicting other artists' current releases on the Harvest label - this inner sleeve was discontinued in 1974.
A2 appears as "No No No" on cover, but as "No, No, No" on label.
A4 appears as "Anyone's Daughter" on cover, but as "Anyones Daughter" on label.

Can someone clarify the supposedly thickness issue of the cover here ? I have a textured cover, which depicts the B&W pics inside, the date code is the 7109 and both labels are the ones with tracklist on a single line rather than in a "list" format (one on top of the other), which doesn't seem to be the case in any other release. Only thing is that the cover seems rather thin to me, but yet again no trace of my labels on any other textured release.
Thanks for any help, -
This mastering is terrific, probably the best sounding rock album of my thousand-plus record collection. -
-
I way back when I was a kid in the run out grooves of "Anyones Daughter" there's some piano dingling and somebody's asking for tea. Must have been a early German version but I've never got it again. Maybe my memory is false or does anybody else this ? -
-
Code price A sticked on the back of the cover (on the right high corner, under SHVL 793 stereo). -
Perhaps the first record I bought, listen to it after almost 50 years, still makes me shiver ... thank you to Gillan Glover Lord Blackmore and Paice
