    Can someone chime in ? I bought this on eBay. Side 1 labeled SHVL 804. Side 2 is labeled SHVLQ 804. Runouts say SHVL 804 an 804 b. Cover is labeled SHVL Q 804. Maybe this vinyl was pressed on a Friday at 3:59 pm haha. Any thoughts appreciated. Thx

      I picked this up from a neighbour. I was intrigued as to the high value on Discogs given i thought it was a 4th press. It’s actually a 2nd pressing. After several plays it is evident why it commands a decent price. This is easily the best pressing I have of this album. Outstanding dynamic wide soundstage. Even pips my MOFI pressing and that takes some beating.
