Yes. This is the original release on Roadrunner Records, catalogue number RR 9690, made in the Netherlands for the UK and European market. There is no other official vinyl edition.

What does Media NM- to VG+ / Cover VG mean?
The record lies between NM- (close to new, at most minimal signs of use) and VG+ (light signs of use that barely affect playback). VG for the sleeve means noticeable wear but complete and in decent shape; here there is stronger shelf wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
