FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. Blood And Guts was first released in France in 1970 on Futura (GER 13 / FUT 2010); this is a French pressing from that year. Later editions followed in 1972 in France and Japan, among others.

What is Futura Records?
Futura was the Paris label of producer Gérard Terronès, which around 1970 mainly released free and experimental jazz recordings. The catalogue number GER 13 is also printed in the top right corner of the cover.

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