Does this issue include a lyric insert like the 2×LP reissue?
8Eightcoins8 Nov 23, 2019
How does it sound? Its alot of time for both sides on a Single LP (arpund 29 mins and 24 mins) so im wondering about the sound quality, if it sounds decent I might get this instead of the Reissue since im not really that big of a fan of Double Albums.

Why is this album so rare on vinyl that it fetches such insane prices?
