Label Printing Methods; A GOOD EXAMPLE

i have always maintained that most EMI labels ( and probably other companies too ) were usually over printed onto pre-printed company labels which contained the basic details that were the same for all releases, the label logo and the rim text, the specific record details would be over printed onto these label " blanks "...indeed apple blanks have been seen a few times

I have often been asked how i know this and finally here is a great example i found the other day.

It is a 2nd press Ummagumma but as you can see the harvest " blank " in this instance never had anything pre-printed so the side 2 details were overprinted onto what was just a yellow plain label....

I had a Madonna single with a Chas and Dave, so a Rockney record on a Sire label.
So Madonna Physical Attraction with KOR 26 overprinted. Faint but clear.

OT: Do all UK pressings of Ummagumma have this mistake on the label? ("Conthrols")???
