COLLECTOR & AUDIOPHILE NOTE: This specific late-1970s US reissue is highly sought after by audiophiles because it was manufactured using the original 1974 first-press metal stampers.


This is verified by the original "CSM" (Columbia Santa Maria) and "PRC" plant codes alongside the initial "3-13-74" release date etched directly into the runout wax on Side A. It delivers the definitive, hard-hitting analog sound of a true first pressing on clean vinyl without the high price tag of a 1974 jacket.


CONDITION GRADING:

Vinyl Record: NM (Near Mint) The vinyl is in beautiful, clean condition. It retains its brilliant original high gloss with no deep scratches, scuffs, or hairlines visible under bright light. The red paper labels are crisp with no writing, bubbling, or spindle wear. It plays beautifully with exceptional sound clarity.


Album Cover / Jacket: VG (Very Good) The original gatefold jacket is structurally solid and clean. The edges and spine are intact with readable text.


Please note there are two visible creases/bends on the bottom front corner of the jacket (see close-up photos for exact detail), and a narrow white scratch less than an inch long to the left of the first bend. Minor edge/shelf wear consistent with age, but no seam splits, tape, or writing.


Inner Sleeve: Ships safely in a protective inner sleeve inside the jacket.


SHIPPING & PACKAGING: Shipped via USPS Media Mail in a dedicated, heavy-duty cardboard LP record mailer.


The record will be removed from the jacket and placed in a separate new poly bag during transit to prevent any seam splits to the cover.


Safe, secure packing guaranteed. Please check photos carefully and reach out with any questions before buying!
