FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
Yes. This is the 1977 US first issue on Douglas, catalogue number NBLP 7044.

In the US, surplus stock was marked with a clipped corner, hole or notch in the sleeve and sold at a discount. On this copy one corner of the sleeve is clipped.

What does Media NM- / Cover VG mean?
NM- (Near Mint minus) for the record means close to new with at most minimal signs of use. VG (Very Good) for the sleeve means clear signs of wear such as edge or corner wear. All grades are explained on our Vinyl Grading page.
