Songs In The Key Of Life

On front cover : Collector's Album Includes Two Records, A Something's Extra Special Record, 24-Page Lyric Booklet Made in France by Pathé Marconi EMI Made from Masters Of Motown Record Corporation The 2 x LP of this version has a sides split. The first LP is reading sides 1 and 4, the second, sides 2 and 3. Lacquer Cut At Crystal Sound stands for a role about lacquers of sides B to F (lacquer side A was cut elsewhere). The runouts are all hand-etched, except first part of side A (until 'Pellé'), which is stamped. This pressing is using a french metal work for the side A, from a lacquer which was recut in France, for whatever reason. The metalworks of Monarch which were used for the other sides of the LP were mixed-up during the pressing. What explains side 4 appears on side B and sides 2 and 3 on sides C and D, whereas it was not corrected on sleeves. A very similar french version which was entirely mastered, cut and processed in the US exists.
