    Tremendous sounding. Competes with the AP 45 and may even be preferred by some.

      The inner sleeve on my copy has the manufacturing code N 17/75 4912 000 1533.1, does the 17/75 part indicates that it was pressed in 1975? I also have the variant 3 runout

        The version of SEBTP sounds great. I am happy to have it.

          Gotta say this is the best version of this album I’ve ever heard. I’ve had the first Canadian, first US and the 2008 remaster. This one wins.

            Hi,
            I have this LP with these markings on LP inner radius (or how you, inner part of the grooves).
            LP is with no scratches, some dust and I have played it now once and sound really good.

            Matrix / Runout (A runout, stamped, variant 1): 1 0 AA6369944 1Y 320
            Matrix / Runout (B runout, stamped, variant 1): 1 0 AA6369944 2Y 320

            How should I estimate the value of it?

              Original review of near identical release: https://discogs.futbolgratis.org/Genesis-Selling-England-By-The-Pound/release/7604719
              I got a close to NM copy and with that I feel justified to make a review. This is itadly the first release Ive owned of this album but Im planning to get Classic Records issue later to compare. But I dont need to do that before telling you to buy this or another 70s copy. In good condition they are simply stunning records that probably always got audiophile attention even back then, sort of like the Dire Straits albums. I have heard worse ones that sound less clear so stick to the 6369 944 and CAS 1074 issues which were made through the mid 70s if you can.
              The surface noise is quiet and given mines good condition there are almost no pops or crackles at all.
              The mastering is full of a good sounstage and great sound separation with bass to the sides and sharp strings in the middle. Of course Phil Collins is just clear enough even when it gets busy. There are good dynamics here and Im honestly not sure if the Classic Records release will surprise me much, especially with their 200 gram releases infamous surface noise. The only negative to speak of is the distorted S's Collins can sing on More Fool Me. This could possibly be my bad cartridge that has a hard time tracking the grooves. Ill be getting a Nagaoka mp110 soon and will update if it solves the problem.
              In conclusion these are worth gold, if you find one cheap in good condition dont hesitate, the earlier the release the better most likely.

              Update 2 years later:
              Specifically what to look for in this version is the 320 in the deadwax which signifies who mastered it.
              I wouldnt be surprised if the UK original is better or the Classic, since Ive enjoyed those for other albums more than foreign originals. 320 tends to be a little more bass and low end focused but this still seems decently neutral to me. Foxtrots German 320 is a little more muffled for example however.

              Rega RP1 with base carbon cart
              Cyrus 2 Amplifier
