Lucy's first LP was issued in The Netherlands on Fontana with the
catalogue number 847 901 VTY in a different cover, although they did
use
the same idea on the design as on the British release. Under the
Fontana
logo on the front cover ''A Vertigo production'' pops up. The same
happens at the bottom of the label. It looks like the same lady (is
it?), but
this is a much more decent picture, I guess. In this era, before
Photoshop, they still had to cut and paste with scissors and glue,
which shows clearly. Take a
good look at the picture! The orange left to her face is litterally
hanging in the air. The matrix number (machine-stamped) is AA 847 901 1Y 1 (P) 1969 670 11 and AA 847 901 2Y 1 (P) 1969 670 11 as regular as it gets, ''670'' being the country code for The Netherlands. |

A two-sided metal acetate belonging to this album has been spotted. This sports B-side styled labels with the four tracks that are on this version. A red stamped capital ''A'' marks the A-side. It plays at 45 rpm. There are even different stamp variations! Just compare the sets above, taken from two different copies. |
A strange label variation has been spotted, see right above, which could be the truly first edition. The copyright year caption is augmented with an earlier date. The owner states that the backside has the normal 'VO7" caption, but additionally a golden sticker with black text stating '847 904 VTY'. Apparently the record was slated for 1969, but was not ready in time. |
Yet another strange issue! Typeset and the upside-down label suggest The Netherlands, but that country already has its own Cressida release. Anyone? |

Photographs of Cressida are pretty hard to
come by. This is a picture taken from a Vertigo promo folder with
advertisements for roughly the first forty Vertigo releases. |
Also abroad Vertigo diligently advertised to get the label off the ground. This one was found in the Dutch ''Aloha" no.23 from 6-3-1970. The ad proudly states that Black Sabbath hails from ''Moody Blues town Birmingham'' ! |

The Vertigo logo on front is orange. There is no ''old'' catalogue number anymore. Instead there appears a ''VO price code'' indication in a square beneath the catalogue number on the back cover.

Finally
Vertigo managed to agree upon a uniform system of cataloguing. The
prefix 6360 will from now on indicate Vertigo releases, this in
similarity with other Philips/Phonogram releases of the time. The
''VO'' prefix is almost buried, ending the confusion of the six
previous releases, but clings to existence in the ''price code''. |
We found a very strange copy of this record too and we will describe the differing details in full. The vinyl is evidently thinner
than on the regular release.
The cover is single instead of folding out, thereby rendering the concept of its design incomprehensible. The contents of the inside are discarded except for the liner notes. The liner notes in typescript are transferred to the bottom right corner of the back. The front cover is the same as the regular release, but the backcover is in black and white. The spine is left unprinted. The catalogue number according to the label is VO 231 (!). Although the label boasts the British design for most of its elements, the printing year has been replaced by ''stereo'', which is decidedly un-British. The production credit is omitted, as are the composers credits. The record number is inserted into the left of the label. The matrix number is HAND-ETCHED and goes: FAIR 10-1A and FAIR 11-1B and has the inscription -L.Nix. So far so good. The most astonishing fact, however, is the INCLUSION OF 4 NON-LP TRACKS, which were released on an EP (6059 008) around the same time as the album. These extra tracks are inserted two each at the end of the regular album sides, doing fully justice to the term ''LP''. Side A has Just another day and Song for you, while side B has Caraminda and I am all the animals. We
would be very grateful if
there was anyone who could clarify this mysterious release.
In the meantime we did receive a scan from a white label copy of this record! That particular copy has a caption on the front stating ''plus 4 bonus tracks'', so this is likely a (Korean?) reissue. My copy does not have this. Still, we do not quite know what to think... A diligent reader posted the information, that this is a bootleg from Taiwan, released in 1978. We have no means of checking this information, but it could very well be like he states. |
