First Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman, pressing, denoted by small, faintly stamped "P" in runouts. Remainder of runouts etched, except Customatrix stamp.

First version of gatefold sleeve, with the rear sleeve type set so low that the bottom lines of credits wrap around or are cut off on many if not all copies (see pics). Later issues have the credits reset and centered higher on the wheat-field background.
No text inside the gatefold apart from "6327 Made in U.S.A." at bottom.
Catalog number on spine, labels: RS 6347
Catalog number on jacket front, inside gatefold: 6347
Rear sleeve:
I are Michael Charles Avory — drummer

I is David Russell Gordon Davies — guitarist and singer

They are Brian Humphries, Alan MacKenzie who contributed

Really dynamic soundstage on this stereo pressing, even on my super beat up copy. I’ve never heard any other pressing of this album but I feel like I won’t need to, this is sublime. Incredible album of course too, buy this with confidence. -
This is definitely not the first US edition from 1968 on the pictures above! There's a Warner Communications Company logo on both labels. But Warner Communications Inc. was established only in 1972, check Wikipedia. -
Edited 12 years agoMan, these are hard to find in good condition. Let me know if you have one in at least E condition and are willing to sell. Must be orig 2 tone orange reprise copy.
