    Same comment as the James Brown - The Payback
    I pulled out this record out of my collection, discovered it was an infamous Rainbo x Cheppa pressing and after a deep-dive, i was surprised by the overall 'musicality' of this one.

    PS: got my copy (brand new) at the end of the '00s.

          This is a 1976 copy, the only year Casablanca had this desert scene label with the three camels.

            Is it possible that this version and the 180g version are the same ?
