Notes

Initial pressings from 1968 came with a strange fragile gatefold cover variation: The outside was made of laminated cardboard, the inside was made of printed paper pasted on the cardboard - Polydor did not have much experience with Double LPs, most copies arrived damaged in the shops and are quite rare in mint condition.
These covers were replaced in 1970 by the more common and stable 2612 002 covers still housing the unsold 184 183/84 records.

On cover and spine: catalog# 2612 002
On labels: catalog# 184 183/84
This release is auto-coupled as A,D & B,C. So first record contains sides A and D, second B and C.

    Grandiose and open sound... Exactly how the album should sound.

      Since only the cover changed compared to the first pressing would you categorize this as a first pressing or a repress or a reissue?
