Item Description
Vinyl, , Boxed Decca Logo LP Album Mono
AT THE BEGINNNG OF FEBRUARY 1970 (AROUND 2 MONTHS AFTER THE RELEASE DATE), THEY CHANGED THE DECCA LABELS FROM THE 'UNBOXED' DECCA LABEL WHICH HAD BEEN USED THROUGHOUT THE 1960s - TO THE 'BOXED' DECCA LABEL (WHICH WAS USED THROUGHOUT THE 1970s). AND THEN IN EARLY MARCH 1970 - THEY ENDED ALL MONO PRODUCTION OF THIS LP FOREVER!!!! SO ALTHOUGH THIS PRESSING COULD BE CONSIDERED AS 1ST PRESSINGS (AS THEY WERE CONTINUIOUS FROM THE VERY 'DAY OF RELEASE'!) THESE (THE 'BOXED' MONOs) WERE ONLY MADE IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (AS THIS LP WAS SELLING FAR LESS BY THEN) BETWEEN EARLY FEBRUARY 1970 AND EARLY MARCH 1970, WHEN MONOS WERE NOT PRESSED AGAIN UNTIL 2016, WHEN THE MONO BOX WAS RELEASED
