Disc 1: 613008 Side D; Cat# (613008 B) [inverted over 613008]

Defect in matrix stamping on this early issue, altered by hand.

- Label A and D are similar
- Label B and C are different. The text beginning with "ELECTRIC LADYLAND" is very close to the center. The text seems to have moved up. SIDE B and side C are not printed below ST 33 but nearly on left side.

Number on side C is different as 613009 B has been added with hand and the machine stamped number is completly scratched except //1.

Titles: This UK issue has no suffix to "Come On", "The" is prefixed to "Burning Of The Midnight Lamp" and "Cross Town" appears as two words.
