I knew it couldn't be true when I bought this record. Re-Issue after Re-Issue of this album pops up all over the place but I was holding out for an original first press.
This pressing looks very much like the real deal but it was cheap and in spectacular condition so I thought that it cannot be what I'm looking for. Yet I couldn't let it sit there. You know what it feels like to find out later that indeed it was what I was looking for. The pain of passing up a great opportunity was certainly something I feared more than purchasing my first copy of this record for less than what those most recent represses cost.
It's a beautiful, apparently official, Re-Issue on the very same label that originally released this classic in January 1968. Almost 47 years ago. Besides spelling mistakes and updated credits the whole artwork is true to the 1st pressing. Definitely not sorry for picking this one up. If you don't want to spend too much this is certainly one of the best versions to consider.
