FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No. The original came out on EMI in 1975. This edition is from the limited 1997 "EMI 100" centenary series – on 180g vinyl and cut using DMM (Direct Metal Mastering).

What is DMM?
With Direct Metal Mastering the groove is cut directly into a copper disc instead of a lacquer. This saves one plating step and is considered low-noise.

What does media NM- / sleeve VG+ mean?
The record is near mint, the sleeve shows light wear. Details on our Vinyl Grading page.
