Reviews

The famous white inner sleeve which is the reverse of the lyric insert simply doesn't exist. -
Did they really issue UK earlies with black lyric insert AND white lyric OIS! Mine has the black insert only, never seen these white OIS anyway! Besides, I mainly listen to the german sung version! -
Oh my god what a prices, it is just obscene.
This record was a commercial succesful, there are so many pressings => it isn't a rare record.
why this prices? shame! -
I have this copy but the lyric sleeve is missing and the etching on the runout is:
Side A: PL 12522-A-3E MW A4AAH
Side B: PL 12522-B-5E A3AAX DAVE's R.C.A. -
Hi,i've just purchased this version with the following Matrix Info Etc,does anybody knew which pressing this would be ? The seller thought 1st i'm not so sure.
Label - RCA (Orange Label) PL 12522 (AFL1 12522)
Matrix - Side 1 PL12522 A-1 A4C Sterling, AFL-12552-A crossed out
Matrix - Side 2 PL12522 B-5E A2I Dave's RCA. -
Yes, I've noticed a lot of the 2014 reissued coloured vinyl albums are all pretty disappointing sound wise. -
C'mon people... an RCA reissue edition of this in VG+ shape is like a $15 record, NM maybe for $20 or $25. This was never a rare record, thousands upon thousands of copies were pressed.
