FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No – the original came out on Ohr in 1972 (OMM 2/56021). This is the later German edition on Brain, catalogue number BRAIN 2/1086.

Does the Brain edition sound different from the Ohr original?
The Brain pressings were made from the same source plates as the Ohr original, which is why the run-out grooves still carry the Ohr number “st-omm-2/56.021”. Our guide Krautrock rarities: how to spot original pressings explains how to tell originals from reissues.

What does Media NM- / Sleeve VG+ mean?
The records are near mint; the sleeve shows only light wear. See Vinyl Grading for details.
