I’ve seen a couple of copies of these floating around in the past and sellers always ask absurd sums. I stayed away as the label seemed somewhat questionable to me but over time read a couple of things here and there that lead me to believe they’re legit. Recently one came up for a very reasonable amount so took a shot and now it’s safely housed in my usual Japanese rice paper inner / white Cardboard outer / Japanese outer sealed sleeve combination that protects all of my 45s (more on that another day as I’ve been asked before how I store things).

I acquired this pressing from a Dutch seller, living in France, who advertised it as an Australian pressing. I suspect that was merely a typo as the Dutch know their geography perfectly well. None the less, this was one I didn’t have and was happy to add my very first Nilsson pressing from Austria for the very reasonable sum that was being asked.

Let’s keep the French flag waving with this French pressing of Nilsson Schmilsson under the alternate title of ‘Without You‘.

I’m not entirely sure why this alternate cover was used as there was a French pressing of Nilsson Schmilsson issued the very same year with the very same catalogue number that used the original US artwork, but I’m all for alternate artwork so why not?
