Notes

- German second release in imported US sleeve and with the inscription 'MGM Records - A division of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.' on labels. There is a similar German pressing with the slightly different rim text acknowledgement "... a division of Loew's Incorporated".
- Issued in gatefold sleeve with peeled banana on the front and airbrushed Emerson 'torso' image on the back.
- Sleeve has the US catalog number V6-5008 (may be hidden by a sticker on the back), labels have the German catalog number 710 004.
- Runout inscriptions are stamped. The following runout inscriptions found in deadwax are overstamped with X's: 'V6-5008 SIDE-1 MGS 558 REV' (side A) and 'V6-5008 SIDE-2 MGS 559 REV' (side B). This part of runout inscriptions is not transcribed in matrix no's variants, but is there. Some characters are rotated by 90°, e.g. variant 2, side A/B: "C"/"D". "Ⓟ" on both sides is mirrored, e.g. appears as ꟼ inside the circle. A so-called [Ankh Symbol], also known as "block-shaped S", "sailor's cap", or "blocky S" is MGM Record Manufacturing Division's stamp.

Reviews

  • JellyRollMorton's avatar
    JellyRollMorton
    The crossed-out matrices seem to suggest that these 1967/8 DGG pressings were made using US metal parts?
    Can someone either confirm or deny this?

      does this also have the crooked rectangle on the matrix?
