The 1975 UK double LP on Swan Song SSK 89400 has the cream Swan Song label with the winged Apollo logo and was distributed by Atlantic. Its defining feature is the elaborate die-cut tenement-window outer sleeve with two interchangeable printed inner sleeves that show different images through the cut-out windows. A genuine copy must have both die-cut inners and the correct Swan Song labels with the proper matrix etchings.
Matrix / Runout
UK firsts carry SSK 89400 A/B/C/D stampers hand-etched with plant codes and occasional 'Porky' style signatures. Counterfeits show uniform machine matrices and incomplete or reproduction inner sleeves.
3 Tells That Reveal a Fake
- 1
The die-cut window outer is missing its two printed inner sleeves, or the inners are modern reproductions on bright white card with soft, low-resolution images.
- 2
The Swan Song label is the wrong cream tone or the Apollo/Swan Song logo is fuzzy and poorly registered.
- 3
The die-cut windows are cut imprecisely or the cardboard is thinner and whiter than the original heavyweight stock; runouts are typeset rather than hand-etched.
