Reviews
- How mutch is a complete first pressing worth paying for?
- Mobile fidelity have announced a one step version is being released soon. It’s going to be hugely popular but limited to 7500 copies worldwide. I predict a sell out in a day and a bloodbath on the secondary market.
- this album appears to be a gatefold this is the closest match to my release
Definitely an audiophile release. I know it's cliche but I adore this album. Excellent sound and pressing quality, (not surprising considering this is the first issue). Put this one on after a long day, and drift away on the warm smell of colitas rising up through the air.
Edited 3 years agoI'm trying to figure out which version this is (red label 6E 103)

I've looked through a bunch of different versions but couldn't find it.
Does anyone have an idea which pressing it might be?
If anyone have just the vinyl record for this album and wants to get rid of it, please contact me lol. I just got the album cover sleeve.- Underneath an accidental black light inspection, I noticed that my copy is all kinds of gray and black marbled. Groovy.
- So, what's best to own ?
2009 KG or 2015 BG ?

Yet another budget audiophile record. The mastering work on these are superb as Sterling usually did on big releases of the mid 70s. Find yourself a US copy in NM condition by them, you wont be dissapointed, unless it suffers from groove wear. Preferably you should have somewhat of an idea of how the record has been treated over the years. The closer to the original the better, but as long as STERLING stamp runouts are involved it should be great.
Equipment used:
Rega RP1 with Nagaoka MP-110 cartridge
Cyrus 2 amplifier
System Fidelity SF5030 tower speakers
Custom made HQ speaker cables
