yes, the mofi pressing is catalog no. mfsl1-014. you should be able to find a used copy at good record shops or on ebay. BTW, "....from the mars hotel" was also pressed by mofi (mfsl 1-172). -kelly
mfsl oop half speed market 30.-50.
nice material. find myself hummin box of rain every so often. kurt
The "Geen Label" Warner Bros. first pressing is the one you want. The MFSL version is not as good (I own both). Jerry's acoustic guitar is much better represented on the first pressing. If you cannot find a mint copy, the MFSL is pretty good.
BTW, the MFSL Mars Hotel, mentioned above by Kelly, IS better than the (1976) original issue
i'm with frap on both points. the first edition german and dutch pressings of american beauty are also worth a search, or three. -kelly
