is variant 2 not DMM? I would think we need two different listings if that's the case as they'd use different masters
Edited 8 months agoInteresting that they originally released this album on vinyl with 9 tracks. This pressing sounds amazing. Great pressing of an absolute classic.
Damn, I just hate that this LP, with the original cover, isn't the full album. The newest LP cover looks ugly as fuck!
