Rare 1960ies German pressed Scandinavian distributed Polydor label 12-track stereo vinyl LP on the generic red company label with 'NCB' copyright text and upper large white company name and black 'half vinyl album' logo - just above 'Stero' text.
Vinyl has machine stamped matrix information:
Side 1: P1966 m6 <>K 623031 A 10 2
Side 2: P1966 2 m6 <>K 623031 B 10
Labels are manufactured by Deutsche Grammophon and housed in a fully laminated single pocket Gerhard Kaiser GMBH manufactured picture cover.
The original UK version of the 'Fresh Cream' album featured only 10 tracks - the mainland ones 12-tracks.
The Scandinavian 1st pressing vinyl was manufactured in Germany as a 12-track issue - just as the German original - but with a cover listing only 10 songs. This cover was imediately changed to a cover with stickers covering the original cover 'tracklisting'... and featuring the correct 12-track listing.
This is the fully laminated copy issued after the misprinted cover version - manufactured in Germany by the Gerhard Kaiser company and featuring the tracklisting printed correctly on back.
This one is placed in an inner sleeve stating 18/71.
Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG+(+) (Cover):
Vinyl has hardly any signs of handling - bright and shiny - graded near mint.
Labels has a light degree of slightly scattered spindletraces - this is as such a copy listened to - but treated with care when so. Labels are also graded near mint.
Cover has just a touch of wear to laminate - a light degree of wrinkling from edges and just a little corner and opening edges rubbing - very nice and graded close to near mint/excellent.
