Adrian, it has been my understanding that there were several international "1st" releases of this work, all within days or weeks of each other. Until now I have thought that the gray "6-eye" was "the" US edition, and this is the only 1S I have heard (although I do not own it).
I have a few old 6-eyes that are among the best-sounding LPs I own. I cannot say this of the older "solid label" Columbias; but perhaps they just want more careful VTA to get the best from them?
The older LPs were not yet made of "vinyl", and many sound quite "brittle" now, in my experience, including some of the most wonderful stuff on early RCA, pre-"shaded dog". This stuff is the strongest argument for a 2nd, spherical stylus, for serious listeners.
Best regards,
