The period around 1973/74 there was a world oil crisis and vinyl was sourced out to France by EMI due to a shortage in Britain.

This accounts for the many 70's Beatles releases that have a "Made In France" sticker on the rear.

The original shop receipt (photo 10) when it was bought new is dated 1976 so this ties in well with those dates.

Here you have complete copy that was boxed and unplayed form new so all is perfect/unmarked etc.

AN EX/EX COPY made £140 on ebay last year.
