Pressing Details
Earliest Pressing: Flipback cover, “Laminated with “Clarifoil” made by British Celanese Limited” printed on the flap in the bottom left corner. No Argo logo on the rear cover. Notes by Kenneth Long and copyright attribution dated 1965. Not presently listed on Discogs or 45cat. Images of archive copy below.
Subsequent Pressings: A variety of pressings exist – a similar flipback cover without the “Clarifoil” note on the flap, and later versions with the rectangular Argo logo positioned either at the bottom of the right or left columns of text. At some point some early flipback covers were misprinted, with stickers reading “ZFA 111 Stereo” placed over the printing of “EAF 111 Mono”. Link View on 45cat.
The mono version EAF 111 follows a similar pattern. Link View on 45cat.
