The Velvet Underground 3rd - back cover editions

[mangue]

Answering Mangue's question, mine is:
Matrix numbers [very difficult to decipher]:
--side A: 2353 022 1Y 1 ℗ 1969 670 03 1 12
--side B: 2353 022 2Y 1 ℗ 1969 670 03 1 21
So, almost as yours except for the last number of side A. What it means, I have no idea. I'd like to think that it is a 72 original but it's hard to know if there were some other Dutch editions during the 70's - I have my doubts though -

Thanks!
Also have no idea what this small difference might mean.
Higher number for side A: mine ending 14, yours ending 12, could this mean later pressing?

I don't know everything about record pressing, but in years of examining matrix numbers, I've found that there's absolutely no consistency in what those variations might mean. It might mean a different plate was used, a different master, a different pressing, or nothing at all, and it doesn't even always mean that a higher number is later than a lower number.
