This specific vintage vinyl release features the sought-after -1/-1/-3/-1 matrix endings, with stamped runouts reading YEX 905-1, YEX 906-1, YEX 907-3, and YEX 908-1. These early engineering cuts ensure the authentic, warm analogue sound reproduction that original UK vinyl pressings are celebrated for worldwide.
