The UK first pressing on Reprise, catalogue K 54005, came in a textured cream/beige sleeve with the album title in lower-case type and an insert/lyric sheet. The label is the period Reprise design, and genuine copies carry consistent matrix suffixes from UK pressing plants along with the correct textured jacket.
Matrix / Runout
Runout in the style 'K 54005 A-1' / 'K 54005 B-1' with stamped plant codes; genuine UK copies carry consistent machine-stamped suffixes.
3 Tells That Reveal a Fake
- 1
Counterfeits use a smooth, glossy sleeve instead of the original's distinctive textured matte card.
- 2
Fakes carry the wrong Reprise label variant or colour, with blurred small print around the rim.
- 3
Bootleg copies omit the lyric insert and show clumsy runout etching without the period-correct plant codes.
