FAQ

What does direct-to-disc mean?
The band plays live in the studio and the signal is cut straight into the lacquer without a tape machine. This saves a tape generation and is known for a very direct sound, but allows no edits or corrections.

Is this white vinyl?
Yes. As stated, this is a limited edition on white vinyl, as issued for this recording in 1977.

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) for the sleeve means clear signs of wear such as edge or corner wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
