Notes

South African release with:
• Cover made in and identical Label design to this German release but with:
• Runout data more akin to the British releases e.g. this release.
• Runout Side D: The data string here appears not to feature on any other release in the Discogs database.

Cover spread has gloss laminate applied
Gatefold opens to view a matt finish inner spread. Hendrix portrait on left-hand side (Front cover behind it).
Small sepia images of Redding & Mitchell on right (Back cover behind them), with white tracks/credit text below them.

Plain white paper inner sleeves with poly inserts. No design Patents credited.

This release is auto-coupled as A,D & B,C. So first record (184 183) contains sides A and D, second (184 184) sides B and C.

Defect in matrix stamping on this early issue, altered by hand.
[The #, #8 or #9 indicates scratch-out]

    My labels are slightly different but also the red PolyDor ones without the GEMA.
    First record has 'Record No. 1' & 'Side A' and 'Side B'. Second record has 'Record No. 2' & 'Side C' and 'Side D'
    Like this release, the first record has Side A & D (Marked as A & B respectively) and the second record has Side B & C (Marked as C & D respectively.
    Matrix / Runout are the same - 184 183 A & B & 184 184 A & B
    Is this the same pressing?
