FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. The label only reads "AK 2/35" with "GEMA · P. 1970" – this is the first edition from 1970. The 1971 repress additionally carries the cat. no. 60 006, which is absent here.

How do I recognise the German pressing?
The labels carry matrices ST-A-681 461/462 (sides A/B) and ST-A-691 671/672 (sides C/D), and the run-out reads "Manufactured in Germany". "ST-A-681 461" is clearly visible on the side A label of this copy.

What does Media VG+ / sleeve VG+ mean?
Record and sleeve show light signs of wear, and the record plays cleanly. More on our Vinyl Grading page.
