Pressings
The earliest we list is the 1970 US stereo BST 84331 with an RVG stamp, and that is the copy to chase. A French pressing shares the number the same year, and a 1971 US reissue follows on it again. Everything after is 1985: French and US remasters, one of them DMM, plus a Japanese BNJ 71095. No audiophile line has touched this title, so age and condition are the only variables in play.
