“Parachute” 1970
Sleeve notes:
Laminated gatefold sleeve by Hipgnosis, no date code or printer’s credit anywhere.
Label notes:
Uk 1st pressing information must include the following –
“THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD” around rim of label
No EMI box logo on label
“MADE IN GT. BRITAIN” at bottom of label
Matrix notes:
UK 1st pressing (with label as above)
S H V L 7 7 4 A – 2 (O at 3 o’clock in deadwax, 1 at 9 o’clock)
S H V L 7 7 4 B – 2 (R at 3 o’clock in deadwax, 1 at 9 o’clock)
my copy has a matrix error on Side 2, looks like they’d stamped S H V L 7 4 4 , corrected the middle 4 to 7, then decided to cross that all out and re-stamp 774 above the numbers.
