    I'm quite sure that I read an advertisement for a 50th Anniversary official edition somewhere in a newsletter, but I can not find it anymore.
    Is anybody here on a better information status?
    This needs an official press for the anniversary! Badly!

      The most important work of my 15-years old record collector history was to buy this record for 3 euros 7-8 years ago. record, cover and mca inner sleeve were in perfect condition. This mca hexagon version has really amazing pressing quality!also album itself is one of my favorite debut albums ever...

        Why has this not been repressed. Such a classic PR album. Not one listed Stateside, shame, hoping for reissue, remaster of this
