    This is awesome. A sturdy, complete, original Track-labeled pressing that does not set you back too much. The later digital versions may have been scrubbed clean and more balanced, but this is a great way to experience what captivated listeners back in '73.

      superb record with great songs from the band. unfortunally my version is missing the booklet.

        My version is identical to this listing except for the "320 ending" is missing on the side B runout and the rim text is German. The other listing with the German rim text has completely different matrix/runouts. Is there a mistake here?
        Apart from these variations and leaving the statistics behind, the records sound superb. In my opinion one of the finest releases of the '70's and after all these years still a pleasure to listen too. A must have!!!

          Where on the sleeve is a reference to 2644 001? I can't see it on the photo or my own edition? Can somebody point this out to me??

            this is a very nice GERMAN original copy of this 2 lp classic from 1973, the discs have the track records logo regardless of the fact this was a german press, the contents like the booklet etc are the same as the us and uk....... the first german pressing is the only german pressing to have the track records logo, all reissues have the polydor logo......
