UK 1969 THIRD STEREO PRESSING VINYL ALBUM IN FRONT LAMINATED FLIP-BACK SLEEVE WITH ORIGINAL COMPANY INNER SLEEVE.

The first stereo pressing sold so slowly at the time, that two years after it was first issued, EMI was still using the very first -1 lacquers, first 1 mothers, and the pressing run had only reached two letter stampers.  Aside from a label variation since the blue/black Columbia and a few typo changes on the rear sleeve, the third stereo pressing is essentially still a first pressing disc with label variations.
