My offering is an original 1963 German pressing, authorized by RCA. Also, what makes this album different from other German versions? I offer 5 reasons: 1) the album jacket's top front is unique in that it only reads 'Stereo LSP-2765' above the black framing; 2) I've seen German pressings that have UPC codes on the back of the jacket. UPCs were first used in 1974....go figure. 3) this album does not say 'International' anywhere on the jacket; 4) this album states the authorized German company on both the jacket and on the black record label (TELDEC-Telefunken-Decca) 5) the jacket itself is made of a lighter stock 'floppy' cardboard, unlike the heavier cardboard commonly used. Add this rare German pressing to your LP collection. Shipped with CARE. Thank you for visiting. Fast shipping.
