The ORIGINAL UK plum/red Atlantic is still the very best of "Fragile". The AP is the pressing of choice of one doesn't want to search for a stone mint copy of the plum/red/ IMHO, and all that, of course. Both best the all three of the Japanese versions I've heard.
Like Doug, I have a several 70's issues with paper embedded in the vinyl (re-cycling effprts during the energy crisis).
Funny the RCA Dynagrooves. I recently obtained a sealed copy of a Japanese quadraphonic LP that had the Dynagroove label but it was pressed on 180gr vinyl. It seemed SO odd to see that label and to hold the record on each edge WITHOUT it sagging in the middle! :0)
