DRAFT/ WORKING PAGE

DRAFT Page to collate details of all the variations, which will then receive their own pages.

There are seven distinct identifiable Sleeves, two labels, 4or5 Matrix Variations and either 2 or 3 inserts.

Joe wrote in his SFF fanzine that shops selling Deccagones were fakes and clearly the same can be said for this release.

See separate entry for un sleeved variations.

INSERTS

In Issue 22 of Joe's Strawberry Fields Forever fanzine he confirmed that he first pressing had sold out and the reissue would be available with a new picture sleeve. Additional sleeves were printed, so that anyone who had previously made a purchase could obtain one for a single dollar.
Joe also acknowledged in Issue 22 that there was a mistake on the insert in the history of
How Do You Do It and an offer of a corrected replacement for anyone who sent him a Self-Addressed Stamped envelope.
I don't think I have every seen a copy with both, so this many not have been a popular offer.
