Notes:
Gatefold jacket.
Catalog # PJ-10117 on front and inside left of jacket, on jacket spine, and on center labels. Inside Gatefold on lower right corner shows Catalog #'s ST-20117 - PJ-10117. I am assuming to show LP available in Stereo (ST-20117) and Mono (PJ-10117).
Sound Quality:
Exceptional dynamic range captures every nuance – tight bass, warm midrange, crisp highs. High-quality pressing with excellent tracking and quiet surfaces.
Collector's Notes:
Essential for serious collectors – a piece of musical history with lasting value.
