FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1975 US first edition on CTI, catalogue number CTI 6053 S1, with gatefold sleeve.

What does cut-out mean?
On cut-outs a corner of the sleeve was cut off. US companies used this to mark remaindered stock sold at a discount. The record itself is not affected.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) for the record means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. VG (Very Good) for the sleeve means clear signs of wear such as edge or corner wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
