Recorded Oct 1967 through to Feb 1968.

Reviews

This is the original mix from 1969, on heavyweight vinyl (180g ?). Top sound, just the way you want it. A clear recommendation to buy!
Sturdy gatefold cover, including a booklet, just like the original 1969 pressing. -
-
Edited one year agoMy copy features ripples on the surface of the Lp1 and they affect the sound giving it a disgusted distorted feeling.
Update: I returned it and the second copy I received is flawless. -
Decent sound quality. Not much surface noise on all of the discs. Discs are fairly heavy so assumingly are 180g.
Cardboard on gatefold cover is quite thick.
Quite thick when folded up, so some outer sleeves may not fit.
