    There is some info on an italian web listing this is a 6th UK edition from 1974. https://digilander.libero.it/mrpinky/piper_stereo_uk.htm Can someone confirm? Sound is awesome on this pressing! Great instrument separation, dynamics and presence! No sibilance or artifacts in high pitched sounds. Not a 1st pressing but I won't/can't pay stupid money for records... If you find one, I recommend buying!! You won't regret it.

      -2/-2 matrix here, I really like this EMI Columbia press. Noisy and super dirty vinyl, but I can easily look over that. Separation on Interstellar Overdrive is awesome, great to have an AAA pressing in my collection
