anybody got a something with the incorrect 7XCE labels ( like Ballad )

Scan of both labels

Second issue of the picturesleeve singles collection with thin cardboard-cover and barcode on back comes with a Virgin contract press:

surprised nobody has yet posted one of these - with the rare ridged press both sides

Slide ruler variation with more space under R 5814 on B-side (nearly same layout as the ridged press):

What's the story with the extra ridge on this version? Is it an EMI pressing?

its emi and crops up on various emi singles from around 1969-71. no idea why, have a dave clark five single with it as well as a my sweet lord, ballad, hey jude, an several apple singles....

As far as Bruce and I could ascertain, the additional ridge emerged at first during part of the process of "full automation." Possibly, it held the record in place better. Whatever its purpose, the additional ring was no longer needed after a while.

Thanks.
I have just got hold of a copy of Something with the extra ridge and was curious about how it came about.

i wish i could tell you more, but it is emi, just a weird one.....

Those are some pretty sweet big A promo copies.
