FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No – the album came out in 1972; this is the 1978 Japanese reissue (Nippon Phonogram), pressed by JVC on "Supervinyl", which looks slightly translucent brown when held to the light.

What came with the Japanese edition?
A purple obi and a 4-page fold-out insert with Japanese liner notes and lyrics in English and Japanese. This copy includes the insert; the obi is missing.

What does Media NM- / Sleeve VG+ mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means almost like new, with at most minimal traces. VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that barely affect sound or appearance. See our Vinyl Grading guide.
