FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
The German edition carries cat. no. 6641 226 (single discs 9299 257 / 9299 258). There are several German pressings with this number; the early 1974 issue can be identified, among other things, by the rim text on the label, which starts with "Urheber-" and reads left to right.

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 – here some ringwear (wear from the record's outline) on the sleeve. See our Vinyl Grading guide.
