This Release: 1971-1973 (Green label design was changed in 1973)
Mastering: ???
Comments: Very early, if not original, Australian pressing with non-censored cover. Picked up recently for a few bucks. A good example of getting what you pay for. This is a crackly mess. The music still comes through and it sounds OK, but nowhere near as good as the Audio Fidelity CD version. Looks like I’ll be hunting down a US original.
Do you have this pressing? If so, what do you think? Do you have a different pressing? How is it? Please feel free to comment.
Comments: 180 Gram reissue that replicates the original glorious gatefold cover, including billion dollar bill, cut-outs and insert. Most importantly though, this pressing sounds amazing.

One billion dollars!
Such a great photo – I don’t think they ate the baby (as far as I know)
