Pressings

Two 1968 pressings sit at the top of this list: a French MPS 15013 in a gatefold, which is the earliest row we hold, and a German MPS 15 179. Britain got Polydor 583 719, gatefold as well. Everything after is reissue -- BASF BAP 5009 in 1971, a long Japanese run, and MPS 15 179 ST as recently as 2024. Decide on country before you decide on condition.
