    Excellent pressing, worth finding a vg+ copy and paying the price

      Truly one of vinyl’s most outstanding representatives of just how good it can sound...

        i have a copy of this album that was discarded from a library or radio station. US release - Reprise - MS 2038 : everything is normal physically with the sleeve and label, however, both sides played are actually Side B. So both sides play California/ThisFlight/RIver/CaseofYou/LastTimeISawRichard . Anyone have any idea?

          Blue Gatefold made by Capitol with SMAS on label and inner groove. Does anyone know about this version?
