    I have a label variant with 'Made In England' round the edge instead of at the bottom of the label. The run-off is etched, not stamped.

      Love this album... Anyone ever notice that, for a UK 1st press the vinyl is real thin! this to me seems uncommon in UK 1st presses where they are traditionally quite thick in comparison to later re issues and such.
