FAQ

Is this the original pressing?
No – this is a European reissue on Asylum Records. The album was first released in 1975.

How do I identify this edition?
By the catalogue number K 63 002. There is also a European reissue numbered AS 63 002 with a different label layout – so check the number on the labels when comparing.

What does Media close to NM- / sleeve VG mean?
The records are almost like new with only minimal marks. The sleeve shows more noticeable wear; a sticker was removed from the back, taking some paper with it. More at Vinyl Grading.
