Notes
Limited edition 500 copies.
Gatefold sleeve replicating the original album, with a circular cut-out in sleeve, revealing rotating 'clockwork image' card insert through which the band can be viewed on a further inserted full-color backing sheet.
No cog or pin is provided. The "clockwork" insert is simply placed upon the full-color insert.
℗ 1968
Copyright Control
The back cover indicates "Limited Edition 500 copies", but in fact this LP has been repressed by Tapestry at least twice since 2007, every time in small quantities, but always with the same sleeve layout.
The first pressings were sealed with a big yellow hype sticker.
The latest ones come in resealable plastic sleeves, without stickers.
Manufactured in EEC.

Great great great great great great pressing! Very quiet! I had to rip the paper inner-sleeve (do so! it will scratch this great sounding record) and replaced it with a Mofi like sleeve! Niceeee, highly recommended, very spacious, very beautiful stereo mix! -
