Specific to this release and not found on subsequent releases are:
Released in a front laminated gatefold sleeve with the disc housed in the rear opening and the front opening is glued shut with no inner flap.

Variation 2: 'PATENT No. 1,125,555' and 'MADE IN GREAT BRITAIN'.

1. Green/yellow Harvest Label with no 'EMI' Logo and 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd.' at 11 o'clock on the outer rim.
2. 'SYD BARRETT' appears just above the 'HARVEST' logo at 9 o'clock. Later pressings move this higher up the label.
3. Side 2 label has credits 'Barrett except + Joyce'. Later pressings have 'Barrett + Joyce'.
4. On each label side there is no gap between 'Lupus Music Ltd' and 'Produced by...' Later labels have a gap.

The earliest copies of this(1G/1G) have ‘Syd Barrett’ printed lower on both sides of the label…this copy shows it higher on side 2 -
love my new 2014 pressing, good quite vinyl, Syd's guitar and voice are vibrant like all the music here, feels like he's in the room at times, a real wow for me. I really enjoyed the 'Barret' 2014 pres of the same label too, not quite a wow but good, tempted to buy 'Opel' too.

I’ve got the original sleeve variant (6911), but label on disc has boxed EMI - any ideas which pressing this is anyone?
