Made in

Catalogue no. on labels: 86 210 IT
Catalogue no. on spine & inside gatefold: DJLPH 423

Comes in the original UK textured fake leather gatefold sleeve. The picture on the front is stuck to the sleeve (not printed) and has a different texture.

Some copies have got a DJM 86 210 IT sticker in the top right corner (as shown in the photos).
Some copies have got a DJM 86 210 XOT sticker in the top right corner when old stock copies sold after 1975.
(This is the sole difference. The same UK envelope gatefold; the same German pressing: identical labels with cat. no. 86 210 IT, and identical barcodes.)

This release does NOT have "Hansa Record" on the sleeve or on the label like later ones.

    This is an amazing pressing. It’s got a very dynamic stereo sound. It’s not MoFi grade. But damn it does sound good. I’ve never heard anything from other us or other countries pressings. But this is very very good
