FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes – this is the 1988 UK first edition on Mute with catalogue number STUMM 58, “Made in Great Britain”.

Is the song “Let It Be” on the album?
No – Laibach re-recorded the Beatles album without its title track; instead, side B ends with a medley of “Auf der Lüneburger Heide” and “Was gleicht wohl auf Erden” in place of “Maggie Mae”.

What do Media NM- to VG+ / Sleeve VG+ mean?
The record sits between NM- (almost like new) and VG+ (light signs of use without significant impact), the sleeve at VG+. More at Vinyl Grading.
