Notes

This is a subsequent pressing that has the correct spelling of "Einladung" on the side A label, with the lower text ring reading from right to left, and a small pressing ring that does not intersect the artist name. There is an earlier pressing where the title is misspelled "Einleitung", text ring from left to right, and a larger pressing ring: Echo
