FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes, it is a German first pressing from the year of release, 1964, with catalogue number LSP 2894. The very first edition came out in the US in April 1964.

What does "Living Stereo" mean?
"Living Stereo" was the name RCA Victor used to mark its stereo records. On the label or sleeve it shows that this is the stereo edition (LSP) rather than the mono version (LPM).

What does Media VG+ / Cover VG mean?
