I got a first pressing of this US stereo edition at a charity sale here in Australia. But that's not the amazing bit. The amazing bit is that I got it for only 20 australian dollars. Perhaps people were put off by the visible scratches on it; but I was in one of those very lucky situations to get an album with highly visible scratches that are not audible in the slightest. Very very good sound, classic album. No need for expensive reissues if you can poke around a bit and get an original.
