FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1978 US first pressing on Asylum Records with catalogue number 6E-155 and the original inner sleeve.

What does "co – cut out" on the sleeve mean?
Cut-out copies were marked as remainder stock in the US by the label or a dealer, usually with a clipped corner, a small hole or a notch in the sleeve. The record itself is not affected. Otherwise the sleeve is graded VG+, meaning light wear.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means the record is close to new with at most minimal marks. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light wear on the sleeve. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
