Saucerfull of secrets matrix numbers

Hello all

Ref the above album ,I have a mono issue of this album ,and with reference to the UK Pink floyd LP Discography by Vernon Fitch everything would point to a first mono issue ,Gilmour credited on cover and album as Gilmore ,all colours and text positions correct ,inner sleeve appears to be the no 2 issue from the 16 lp's pictured as described ,Hipgnosis cover ,laminated flipback all text correct .

My question is regarding the matrix numbers XAX 3633-1 AND XAX 3634-1 respectivly ,according to the said discography these matrix numbers should have 1 or 2 letters after the matrix ,apparently using letters from the word GRAMOPHONE ,my particular copy has no letters after the matrix number ,in an email to the said discography asking the question i received the following reply "

"That would be a pressing from a country other than the U.K.
All U.K. pressings had stamper letters "

So I went through all the country flags and checked all the countries that had had saucerfull released there ,but to no avail ,no matrix numbers matching the UK release in any of the countries listed . Now dont get me wrong I have no doubt that Vernon will be right with his facts and his answer ,but he does say in the discography that it is by no means exhaustive ,so can anyone here throw any light on the said issue of my LP ??

Cheers

Mike

The GRAMOPHONE letters can be hard to find. They are not found after the matrix numbers, but further along the radius of the deadwax, usually at 3 o'clock if the matrix numbers are at 6 o'clock.

Hope this helps!
