This Gull issue is pressed by Pye and features the translucent ‘secret’ red vinyl when held up to a very bright light (such as a halogen spotlight). This version features the following:

“Gull Songs” publishing credits after each song title on the label.
“Distributed by Pye Records (Sales) Ltd”
“GULP 1015 A” (side A) and "GULP 1015 B" (side B) above the catalogue number “GULP 1015″ on the label

There are two issues on the Gull label: Decca pressed and Pye pressed. The front cover is identical. The rear sleeve of the Decca pressed version has red text with Gull Records address detail in the centre and “Printed by Robert Stace” also in red bottom right. The 2nd issue is a Pye pressed version and has all the text in black with the Gull office address now at bottom left and also “Made and printed in England” bottom left below Gull address.
