FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
The first edition was released in 1966 on SABA with cat. no. SB 15 090 ST. This copy carries the same catalogue number but MPS branding; editions with this combination were made during the transition from SABA to MPS from 1968. Later MPS represses have different catalogue numbers.

What does WOC on the sleeve mean?
WOC stands for "writing on cover": a name is written on the gatefold. Otherwise the sleeve is graded VG+.

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