Does anyone know what the inner sleeve looked like on a French very first pressing? Or was it just generic white?
-
-
I've a version with code 6397020 1 + 380 on the matrice. No A. Is there another version not listed here? B.i.e.m mono/stereo?
-
-
There is actually an original copy (seems VG +) mono/stereo 6397020 without mentions on sleeve sold at good price on current site...I have already 2 copies but may be someone is interested here. -
Seems like the original press doesn't have the "Dillard and Cie Imp Paris" and "Imprimé en " on inner cover. That was corrected on the second pressing !
-
We have the same references but I do not see written "imprimé en " on the cover of the disc. Is it the same version?
-
Edited 7 years agoThe first original pressing is 6397 020 and it's in MONO and STEREO. This press is very rare, especially in a great condition.... -
Great band also. I wonder who is the drummer? Reminds me of early King Crimson drummers.
-
If you don't have this album do yourself a favor and get it now. It has a unique, brooding sound with the most amazing string arrangements that have been copied by all sorts of artists from Air to Beck. I can recommend the Light In The Attic album reissue but it's great on CD too.
