FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes – this is the 1976 UK original on Decca / Gama (TXS-R 115) in a gatefold sleeve.

How do you spot the UK first edition?
By a heavily textured gatefold sleeve, Decca/Gama labels without the silver "ffss" bar and matrices XZAL-14394 / XZAL-14395. A curiosity: the labels spell the title "Moon Madness".

What does Media NM- / Sleeve VG+ mean?
NM- means a near-mint record, VG+ a very good sleeve with light signs of use. More on our Vinyl Grading page.
