Notes

℗ 1967
Made in England

[Runouts]
All runout data is stamped

Note: On this version, the "DR 39798" code above the catalog number on the label is the correct way up, which distinguishes it from the original 1967 UK release The Laughing Gnome where the code is inverted. In addition, the date '1967' appears on the right hand side of the labels whereas on the original release above this date is on the left hand side.

Compared to the very similar The Laughing Gnome, on this edition Essex and GEMA and the box containing BIEM NCB all left align. On the linked only Essex and GEMA align. Also the linked edition has bolder title and artist.

      How does one tell this one http://discogs.librosgratis.biz/release/2559209 (the 1967 release) and the above apart and what does "On this version, the "DR 39798" code above the catalog number on the label is the correct way up." mean? What does 'correct way up' mean? If there's a correct way up, the must be a 'wrong way up' too..

      Do tell! :)
