Sorry Stephane, after checking again, it turns out my first edition (green sleeve) is a push out centre and the solid one was in fact a Swedish pressing. That'll teach me to wait until I'm fully awake before posting information.

The good news is the second edition (lilac Billie Whitelaw sleeve) came in both a push out and a solid centre. I have sent you a photo via e-mail.

Thanks everyone, additions/corrections will be made.

How can you tell that the first issue solid center is a Swedish pressing? What distinguishes it from the uk pressing?

 

[Anonymous]

The record has a solid center and identical to UK pressing except at bottom there is a ncb logo this is how to tell Swedish issue.

Thanks for the response. What about for the white label test pressings? They won't have the ncb logo on the label so is there another way?

Check the run off matrix numbers on the White label.. do they match the UK 7" ?

The "Swedish" William... 7" was actually a UK pressing that was exported to Scandinavia. As well as the 'ncb' logo on the labels, the other most distinctive feature is a textured paper sleeve rather than the customary UK card sleeve.
