Thick As A Brick
This is the earliest UK issue, with the Island logo & radial text in white at the head of the labels. The 12-page newspaper gatefold-style sleeve has a heavyweight card construction of the record pocket, unlike later issues using a lighter card stock (which also have the same labels & later labels). Consequently, there is a noticeable paper weight difference between the 2 sleeve versions. The Chrysalis imprint appears on page 12. Later repress (2nd press) issues do not have the Island imprint on the labels; See: [url=http://www.discogs.com/release/1636139]Issue without Island imprint labels[/url] (which are also a lighter weight vinyl). ℗ 1972 Ian Anderson Music Ltd/Chrysalis Music Ltd (Island logo) Manufactured & Distributed by Island Records Ltd. Basing St. London Runouts are stamped except for PORKY and PECKO which are etched.
