Vinyl help; A Saucerful of Secrets

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Earlier today,I was vinyl-hunting i Copenhagen and came across this: 

I don't seem to find it mentioned on the following great web-site: http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/PFArchives/DUKLP.ht m
But I assume that is is among the first pressings on the Coloumbia label that followed the black/blue one on which the first pressings of Piper and Saucerful were issued, thus I suppose that this is the second stereo pressing.  
It has following characteristics: 
matrix no: 
side 1:YAX 3633 - 1 
side 2:YAX 3634 - 1 

Flip-back cover, where the text "File under POPULAR : Pop Groups." is to be found in the upper right og "6807 TPS Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending SX6258 / SCX6258" in the lower right corner
Gilmour is spelled Gilmore 

The text on the rim of the label says: "The Gramophone Co., Ltd. All rights of the manufacturer and of the owner of the recorded work reserved. Unauthorized public performance, broadcasting, and copying of this record prohibited" 

I'm a bit confused, the matrix numbers are like those of the second press of the mono-edition, but this is stereo. I can's seem to find exactly this edition described anywhere, can someone please shed som light over it?

	The silver lettering gives it away - it's a second press (1970, I believe). The SCX refers to the stereo format (SX represented the MONO) - and the matrix number for MONO is XAX not YAX. If it was a 1st press, it would look like this; HTH
