FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
It is a German pressing from 1971, but as a club edition – a special run sold through a record club (cat. no. 28 143-6 instead of the regular CBS number).

How do I recognise this club edition?
The back cover shows the number 28143-6; compared with another club variant, the printer credit “Printed by Druckhaus…” is missing at the bottom of the back cover.

What does media NM- / sleeve VG+ mean?
The record is near mint, the sleeve shows light signs of use. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
