I have the original* 1976 Micron/Carib Gems pressing of this Prince Far I classic, but I noticed a difference between the sleeve shown on RA...

[cover=577,682]

...and the sleeve I have, which doesn't have the large PRINCE FAR I and PSALMS FOR I text at the top and bottom; instead it has both written in much smaller type at the bottom only. The matrix numbers are the same, though.

So I'm curious as to what other members' Psalms For I LP sleeves look like. Were there any other variants, I wonder? Is one JA, the other UK? Big respect for any enlightenment you can offer.

Thanks!


*At least, I think it's an original...

More revelations...

I've just double-checked the vinyl and sleeve. The numbers etched onto the platter are CGLP 1002A and CGLP 1002B, which tallies with RA's listing, but the *label* has GGLP 1002A and GGLP 1002B. Also, the track listing on the label is in a different (almost reverse) order to that which is printed on this sleeve and noted on RA.

According to this label, the running order goes A Psalm 1, 2, 23, 53, 95; B Psalm The Lord's Prayer, 87, 24, 48, 49.

According to RA and (even weirder) the *sleeve* of this pressing, the order should be A Psalm 49, 48, 24, 87, The Lord's Prayer; B Psalm 95, 53, 23, 2, 1.

Little help?

read the book of psalms to get the proper tracklist

Thanks for that. Sounds like the copy I have is an old repress, then. Still, sounds superb!
