FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. It is a 1972 US first pressing on RCA Victor with catalogue number LSP-4776.

What does Media VG+ / Cover VG+ mean?
Both record and sleeve are graded VG+. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that hardly affect playback or overall appearance. The sleeve is still in shrink. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
