FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1988 US first issue on Atlantic / Megaforce Worldwide with catalogue number 81822-1.

Why does the third song have a different title on the label?
The back cover lists the title On The Run, while the record labels print As One. It is the same song; the difference appears on copies of this pressing.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. VG (Very Good) means clear but not disturbing signs of use, on the sleeve for example edge and shelf wear. The cut-out is a small notch that dealers used to mark remaindered stock. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.

Do you have more Prophet records?
