For collectors seeking something unique, this scarce mid-seventies stereo French export pressing offers an intriguing variation on a classic album. Manufactured in France by Pathé Marconi EMI for distribution back into the UK, this 1974 edition features the distinctive black, silver, and white two-box EMI Parlophone label. The record includes the specific "EMI RECORDS LTD" rim text, making it a highly sought-after archival piece for completists tracking global distribution variants.

The audio presentation relies on the famed YEX 142-1 and YEX 143-1 matrices, offering a magnificent stereo soundstage. Intriguingly, the French vinyl is paired with a British-made laminated, internal-loading gatefold sleeve printed by Garrod & Lofthouse, instantly recognisable by the outline "stereo" text on the front cover.

We grade the vinyl in Excellent (EX) condition, showing a brilliant lustre and superb care over the decades. The cover grades at Very Good Plus (VG+), remaining incredibly bright and clean with just minor vintage wear to the interior of the gatefold opening top edge. It is a fantastic, premium specimen of a rare European cross-border release.
