              It may not be important but it does cause a lot of issues when claiming an LP is a re-pressing. In this case when the publishing info changed EMI did not stop pressing the LP and then take it off catalogue then start again just to change the label. They simply changed the labels so the same mother still in good nick could have two label variants on it. but it is the same LP and not a repressing. The tech would pull the existing labels he had not used and simply started feeding the new ones in.....Albums mostly stayed in print until deleted. Then if repackaged or a different mix, track listing or cover was changed then that would qualify for a "re=pressing" tag. When labels changed due to a multitude of reasons and the LP was still in print they just started using the new labels, not tossing the entire pressing mothers and start over. There can be differences in mothers used but usually slight. Australia seldom tracked mothers by stamping them on the run off wax so we can't always be sure of what mother was used, unlike the UK, which usually included them. So the jargon "1st, 2nd, 3rd pressing" is mostly incorrect; rather it is a "1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc label" and or cover. Just an observation over the past few decades.

                      Is there a variation of the first press which has the catalog number (With the cassette catalog number in parenthesis beneath it) in the upper right corner on the back of the sleeve like some of the represses do? My disc itself is certainly a first press since it has the kangaroos and the runouts match, but that little bit on the sleeve has me puzzled.
