I just copped this and I would like to know which pressing it is. label looks like this Cat Nr. is 2459057. runout groove engravements say 1971. Sleeve looks old and the smell test is positive.I know about two pressings 1971/1976, but I don??t know what I have here.Popsike and ebay search did not really help me. Someone please to drop knowledge.

    Can't help you with OG/repop info, but that's a great album from what I remember.

    From what I remember, the opening track on this is the "Foreplay/Long Time" of krautrock.

    i just copped that for $5 a while back (along with the first Clark Hutchinson..was a good day for weird geetar)

    i'll take a look when i get home.. but im pretty sure my cover has one of those "nice price" type stickers on it .

    Just to illustrate my point:

    This copy was sold on ebay as original from 71 and has the three colour polydor logo on the label


    another copy with this label was sold as 2nd issue (1976?)



    Not sure, if this information is correct, but these two pressings look slightly different compared to mine. I don??t know about later pressings than 76 and my copy looks old.

    Anyone with the final knowledge regarding this psych-kraut masterpiece?
