I own 3 different copies eu/aussie and UK this copy kicks ass leaving the others way behind in the sound stage department 10/10
Antsman41 Jul 2, 2015
My copy is iLPS 9303 1974 Island Records Sleeve with Atco centers and a -RI endings on the Matrix/Runout, along with a lamination... which is close to this (http://www.discogs.com/Roxy-Music-Country-Life/release/619534) but, the confusing thing is it's red text on the back cover. I can't seem to find all of these boxes checked on any in Discogs... help?
