FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes, this is the German original pressing on S & F Records, catalogue number SF LP 08 102 (on the labels: SF. 08.102). It was pressed by Teldec using DMM; the runout reads "BN 0 C-76.27 041-01-1" / "…-01-2".

Why does the label say "J-Topf"?
That is a quirk of this edition: the labels read "J-Topf", while the front cover and spine read "1-Topf". The first track is also spelled "Mittendrinn" on the label but "Mittendrin" on the sleeve and insert.

Is an insert included?
Yes, the insert comes with this copy. It shows a band photo plus lyrics and credits.

What does Media NM- / Sleeve VG+ mean?
