The US first pressing on Elektra, catalogue EKS-75011, came with a die-cut 'window' outer sleeve and a yellow inner showing the band behind a pane, plus the rounded-corner sleeve on early copies. The label is the Elektra butterfly design of 1971, and genuine copies carry consistent matrix suffixes from US pressing plants.
Matrix / Runout
Runout in the style 'EKS-75011 A' / 'EKS-75011 B' with stamped plant codes; genuine US copies carry period-correct machine stamps.
3 Tells That Reveal a Fake
- 1
Counterfeits omit the die-cut window and the correct yellow inner card, printing the image directly onto a standard sleeve instead.
- 2
Fakes use the wrong Elektra label variant rather than the period butterfly design, with blurred small print.
- 3
Bootleg sleeves miss the rounded-corner cut of early copies and show runout etching without the period-correct plant codes.
