I have this 2 disc album. Both vinyls are in great shape EXCEPT that the second vinyl has both sides with the same Side 2 label beginning with Hosanna and there is no Side 3 label. Does this change the value of the album? Side 1 LN7 214 3; Side 4 LN7 217 4; Side 2 LN7 215 4; LN7 216 4. Original paper sleeves are missing and replaced with generic white.

Curious about my copy, too. Mine's in the textured box w/ custom Decca label. Not made in Canada.

I have 3 total copies of this record: 1 textured gatefold sleeve with the records on the custom Decca label, 1 textured box sleeve with the records on the custom Decca label, and a reissue gatefold on the MCA label. Is my box a 1st pressing?
