Item Description

Vinyl, , Spaceship Labels, Gatefold, No Printer
LP Album Repress Stereo

Matt gatefold cover. Spaceship labels. Stamped runouts.
Poly-lined 'Plastic Bags Can Be Dangerous' standard company inner sleeve with 'British Patent No. 800513 & 973939' & 'Made In England 4913 000 15801'.

Similar version to [r=9840567], except for the still missing mention of 'Printed and made by Howards Printers (Slough) Ltd., England' inside the opened gatefold, and different, earlier font on labels for the side markings.
This is the earliest spaceship label with a 'real' '1' as side A marking. Starting around 1976/1977, a more stylized font with a right angle [ANAGRAM-type], and shortly thereafter, a even more reduced 'I' was used.

℗ 1972
Made in England

B2 appears as "Mister Class And Quality?" on cover, but as "Mister Class & Quality?" on label.
