This is the highly sought-after RL/RL pressing, widely regarded as the best-sounding version of this album and far scarcer than later cuts.

I took this to a local record shop and they took a look and played it. They said they would grade the vinyl VG and the sleeve VG+. They played it and there was some popping but said that may come out with a cleaning.

Clean front artwork with strong color

Minor edge and corner wear

No major seam splits

Spine intact and readable
