There is also a bootleg version pressed in blue vinyl (sound quality is inferior to the official release) with cover design printed in a slightly darker blue ink on thinner cardboard and without the embossing.

        if the Ist issue marks 1975 how is possible the 2nd issue is 1974 ????
        that doesn't make sense!!!
