My copy is the same but has STEREO in the centre bottom on both sides of the label

Very clean sounding record. very dynamic and bright. a bit loud too but very detailed for my hearings
sounds a bit better then my 1978 Reissue

Although this destroys the digital version, due to the latter having audio issues, the mastering leaves a lot to be desired though the album wasn't very well recorded to begin with. I suppose the Sterling engineers, being very high quality, did the best they could with the tapes they were given.

Does this sound super muddy and not clear at all or it just my copy? Its almost unlistenable.

Agree with vovapink’s review. As an owner of this UK original and several USA pressings, this UK press smokes em all in sound and package! The difference in the packaging alone is worth the price (die cut gatefold).

Edge warped such that there’s skipping through the first track on each side, Feh.

hello to all music lovers. one thing is not clear. why there is not a single review of this release. or everyone prefers the USA. the quality is amazing. take into how old the disc is. and obviously listened to it more than once. judging by the state of the envelope. but the record sounds surprisingly very clean. just like new.

I have this same record and the matrix is exactly the same except it is UALA instead of UAL.

Sorry guys - this is a mix up of a 1973 WB cover and a 1977 CBS/Jet reissue so isn't a release in its own right so ought to be removed.

Two diff. labels in Holland in the same year?? WB & UA very interesting.
