    There is another version with Bergenfield, NJ address on back.

      Interesting that on the OG US press the addresses are different on back cover (447 W 50th) and label (446 W 50th).

        IMHO the change of their office address from NY to NJ just means a change in labels but does not mean a change in sound quality. Therefore the 2nd pressing should sound just as good as the 1st.
