    Pretty sure this is the same as the record club edition below. That tiny blurry text on the bottom of the back cover states this.

      Just realized the running time on this album is over an hour. This pressing sounds pretty fanstastic considering how much extra content was jammed into each side. Hopefully someday we’ll get a 2xLP reissue, but until then, this is an excellent sounding entry in the NY catalog! Glad to own it!
