Pink Floyd More - 1st Export UK vinyl LP album (LP record)
|
| Tracklisting / Additional Info: |
It was practice in the UK to press a small quantity of domestic release LPs as Export only copies. Sometimes they would use UK release type labels, for example the Parlophone presses of some Export Beatles LPs, and sometimes they would need to press on a different label, for example the London releases of some Export Rolling Stones LPs.
This first release for Export copy was pressed with Odeon labels as 'Columbia' was a registered trademark of CBS in other parts of the world & not a trademark of EMI. Subsequent releases of this album had the familiar boxed logo Columbia labels with gold Odeon stickers over the label logos, making this the only UK Export release with Odeon labels on the disc.
The custom labels are silver on black Odeon with 'LONG PLAYING' text at the top and 'MADE IN GT BRITAIN' text at the bottom. These carry the exclusive PSCX catalogue number rather than the later issues which carried the SCX prefixes. The matrices are machine stamped in the run-outs & both sides end '1G'.
The front laminated Hipgnosis sleeve is the first batch press with green tinted West facing couple on the back & '6907' dated 'Garrod & Lofthouse' flipbacks. What makes it designated for export abroad is a custom gold Odeon sticker on the front in the top left corner & an additional gold Odeon sticker on the back in the bottom right, both with 'Regd. Trade Mark of The Gramophone Co. Ltd.' print. Peculiarly, these are not strategically placed over the Columbia box logos, which would have been the practice to avoid any trademark conflict in flight overseas, but we can confirm that the only other copy we have seen of this had the two stickers placed in exactly the same way as this copy. For reasons unknown, these export versions simply never show up. This is easily one of the rarest Pink Floyd exports we have ever stocked.
The two gold Odeon stickers show only the lightest signs of their age & the 'Regd. Trade Mark of The Gramophone Co. Ltd.' text is clearly visible. The cover has no discernible wear to speak of other than the very lightest few spots of natural ageing which comes with all LP jackets of this vintage. Truly amazing.
Defying its forty seven years, the vinyl still shines nearly as much as it would have when new. Although it has been played, as the spindle marks by the centre hole will attest, it has obviously been well cared for. The vinyl is Excellent with no scratches or hairlines & very few signs of play beyond the spindle mark. An amazing copy of this extremely rare first UK export edition LP in as good a condition as you are ever likely to see. If you have been looking for a copy of this very rare release, then this is the one you want - Don't miss out.
