This 1st UK STEREO pressing dates from the initial release date of June 1967.
Stereo releases in 1967, were still being outnumbered by mono in vast numbers. Making this mix by far the rarest of the two versions originally released.
The stereo mix was undertaken by George martin and Geoff Emerick in April 1967 and completed on the 21st April 1967. It differs from its mono counterpart; for example, ‘She’s Leaving Home’ is mastered at the correct speed of 3 mins 34 secs as opposed to 3 mins 26 secs on the mono version. But there are other differences too.
Housed in its original and early fully laminated gatefold sleeve, complete with psychedelic red inner & unused cut-out.
