Notes
Though this cover photo bears a striking resemblance to Tom Waits, the photograph is actually one of a series taken by the Swedish photographer Anders Petersen at Café Lehmitz (a café near the Hamburg red-light boulevard Reeperbahn) in the late 1960's.

Has anyone ever seen a gray colored version with a green "Limited edition colored copy" sticker on the front packaging? Curious if this is just another bootleg or an oddity. Couldn't find anything about it online.

You could buy an original press for less. I have some MOVs, nothing special. Why’s this going for so much?

Just buy the CD. This version of the album was likely mastered from one. The only reason why I am keeping the copy of this I have is because the front cover artwork is accurate enough for me to frame the album one day.

Worth noting that the OBI strip is actually attached to the insert, so it wraps around the right hand side of the cover. Essentially if you loose the insert, you’ve lost the OBI as well.

this desperately needs a proper repress or reissue from Island (or someone). resell prices are too high for this classic.

Surprisingly sharp, deep, and warm for such a thin vinyl. I have no complaints about this press at all. I was expecting trash but definitely worth the money.

It’s his best album by miles if you like creepy circus music

This pressing sounds insanely, ridiculously good. Need four more words.
