No. The original was released in 1983. This copy is a 1989 Dutch reissue on Roadrunner Records with the same catalogue number RR 9898.

What does Media VG+ / Cover VG+ mean?
VG+ (Very Good Plus) means light signs of use that barely affect playback or overall appearance. It applies to both record and sleeve. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Just over eleven minutes. It is the longest track on the album and takes up most of side B.
