    I agree with others here. My promo copy has better brighter sound than the stock greenie and palm tree labels. Thicker vinyl too.

      Found my copy 20 years ago before white label promos were so desirable. It’s VG+ and I paid probably $10 or $15 for it because that’s about the most I’d ever spend back then. Well I’m glad I did, not only for the value. It sounds incredible. I have a palm label reissue and the difference is staggering. Like, night and day. This sounds amazing while the palm is garbage. It’s even instantly visible. The thickness of the dead wax on the palm label is about an inch wider than this WLP. They definitely cut this much hotter, but also much better in every way. Best sounding LP of this album that I’ve personally heard.

        Bought mine off here for $85 somehow in MINT condition and gave it to my cousin for a Christmas present, needless to say after failing to find another copy as flawless as my old one for under $500 I’m definitely regretting that decision

          What does the "Estel" etching in the deadwax stand for?

            I sold mine for 500 on a person to person deal. MINT AS FUK!
