YS 1971 isue (still in shrink) with "MFD by Apple Records" only on side 2 but without "Capitol" logo; it's in outsatnding mint condition.
With what kind of inner did it come originally?

At Ed's request I also post the pictures of this YS copy.

Sorry for the 1st side being a bit ugly, I do assure that the Apple looks really greenish as it can be seen from the pic of the inner.

In the dead wax on both sides there's a symbol that looks like a triangle flag: what's that?
Is the inner correct or it's simply a replacement?
Also it's to be noted that on side 2 there's a small concentric circular ring: does it mean something?

Haven't I read somewhere that the triangle is a mark of authenticity, or perhaps that of a particular pressing plant?

Hey TIF4 -

Thanks for these scans, they were not yet on our website, so it's a new variation! The "flag" symbol is actually a rifle (shape), which means it was pressed at the Winchester factory (Winchester is also famous for making shotgun rifles).

Here's how to distinguish a USA pressing:
* (star) = Los Angeles
"rifle" (=triangle followed by a horizontal line) = Winchester
triangle with the letters IAM = Scranton
O (=letter 'O', or zero) = Jacksonville.

The inner you've pictured is correct with this pressing. Also, the ring is nothing special and comes with most USA LP pressings of this period.

Thanks for that reply. I thought perhaps I might have imagined my own reply!

I've found it at the fair last Sunday.

I rember that the seller had 2 of these in October but at the time I haven't cared of it; so last Sunday I was there searching among the records....a Parlophon Italian Revolver....a Capitol standard issue....and finally I've found it: it was the last one left!

You're right: that's the sticker that everyone wants to have!

Good you bought it, fantastic record ! Frank's USA price guide gives a value of $50 (VG) to $200 (NM) for the sticker alone !! This was apparently only made with a stereo ST release number ?

Yes, these stickers were only made for stereo records but they're also put (that's the case) on mono ones.
