I have one copy (Made in with SACEM logo on the record) which is very similar but has a no white ring in the middle (all squares), does anyone knows if that could be a 1974 or 1975 release ? Happy to provide picture if needed. My copy had a USA embossed cover (bought in a small second hand shop) so it makes it harder to identity. Thanks in advance

this pressing sounds fantastic and its cheap. The bass is deep and powerful. The music is wonderfully straightforward.

Single jacket and a "mini" insert ... yeah, it´s weird, but is true

Should be in every music lovers record collection, absolutely superb on all levels. Fantastic interplay between the guitarists and the drummer, no duff tracks, amazingly dynamic recording.

Is this proof that Bill and Ted really did go back in time and release this Peruvian pressing, which everyone thought was their third album, a year before their debut (which itself somehow came out after "II"?)
