Additional Information

Comments IMPORTANT: If the matrix runout is not stamped (SR 61325-A- M2), it is not this original release.
The unofficial (counterfeit) came out in 1973 and has the etched matrix.
This came out after big success and desire for the rare (didn't sell much) Mercury sleeve.
When purchasing always ask, if machine stamped as there is much confusion with a convincing quality counterfeit (that is not rare).
The rear cover speech bubble "Oh by jingo" on an actual Mercury cover is very close to the lyrics above it (less than a lyric line space below the lyric "So softly a supergod cries (second times dies)" ), whereas on counterfeits the speech bubble is almost three line spaces below.
