Notes
This is the earliest UK issue, with the Island logo & radial text in white at the head of the labels.
The 12-page newspaper gatefold-style sleeve has a heavyweight card construction of the record pocket, unlike later issues using a lighter card stock (which also have the same labels & later labels). Consequently, there is a noticeable paper weight difference between the 2 sleeve versions. The Chrysalis imprint appears on page 12.
Later repress (2nd press) issues do not have the Island imprint on the labels; See: Issue without Island imprint labels (which are also a lighter weight vinyl).
℗ 1972

Edited 10 months agoHi, I've bought a copy and the record store stated "Include Poster"...
I was thinking it was a piece from the journal that was took off and they thought it was a poster... In fact, I've got an enormous poster of the album cover in the same paper style as the journal and very fragile indeed. At the bottom, It's labelled "Reprise" (For North America), but no mention in the US and Canadian copy.
Did anybody have this poster ? -
The original 1972 UK Porky pressing of this album absolutely rocks. The way RL was to Zeppelin II, Porky was to this album. -
Good original pressing. Does anyone have the original newspaper insert? If anyone does, message me please. -

Edited 11 years agoMy Version:
Matrix / Runout
Side 1: CHR 1003 A-4 tare,
Side 2: CHR 1003 B-2U Pecko.
Can anyone help? -
I have this LP but i'm confused about what press it is. . It has the exact matrix as shown above & has the crystalis imprint on page 12. The only thing diferant is the lettering on the label, wich is red lettering in stead of white. Now i wonder what pressing it is? anyone ?
