Family (6) – Music In A Doll's House

Have a copy of this with a white label. Text as per the version here but with the addition of ‘Unverkäufl. Warenprobe ohne Wert Echantillon gratuit Trade Sample’ above the midi logo.

A mono acetate exists of Mellowing Grey with longer cold intro and much different mono mix. It was included on the very rare Acid Oranges cd-r compilation of unreleased UK 60's acetates

I'm guessing this Lebanese pressing is a stereo folddown and not the authentic UK mono mix. Can anyone confirm?

this is the album that forced the Beatles to change the name of their 1968 double LP to "The Beatles"

Magnificent effort for a first album by a then unknown band..
A classic of the genre that still packs a punch 50+ years on.

On 'See Through Windows' and a few other tracks, you can distinctly hear a mellotron, which is uncredited. That credit may have be skipped to avoid quarrels with the Musicians Union that opposed the use of that instrument reasoning that the mellotron is in effect a 'replacement' of a musician. Most likely album producer Dave Mason plays the mellotron here, as he was also mellotron payer on Traffic's "Mr. Fantasy" LP. Mono copies of the LP have a mix that differs significantly from the stereo mix.

A good pressing for a somewhat difficult album sound wise , would love a remaster on vinyl one day !

My copy: UK, Reprise RLP 6312, Stereo, no "stereo" sticker on cover; label: "steamboat", but plain orange; no photo insert

A few early copies came with an insert photo of the band. Apparently this mono press often suffered from distortion on a few tracks.

I just bought a copy of this off eBay, and it comes with the photo insert. I've heard that the insert was often counterfeited. Does anyone know how to tell if the insert is authentic or a reproduction? Thanks in advance. :)
