Both toploader versions (both SMO from 1968 and 1C 192 from 1970) use the same cut. The latter has the EMI unified matrix added to the YEX one.
\nThere is also a ~1973 sideloader which uses this cut as well (see variant 3). Here, the YEX parts are omitted.<\/p>\n

For the first sideloader release, the C-Side has been recut. Sides A, B & D are still from the first cut. However, the matrixes on those sides are seamlessly replaced, the YEX parts gone.
\nThere are versions with the matrix for Side A etched very close to the label, and also versions with a more legible Side A matrix on the deadwax.<\/p>\n

\nSide A: 04173 A-1\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 (placed half on the label; no hyphen between 3 and A)<\/em>
