Thanks all. What prompted me to start this thread is a copy of this album I received as a gift. It’s a 1969 US pressing SD8236 with this code on bottom of label:
ST-A- 691671 PR
According to my research it’s a Presswell Pressing
Unfortunately the record is in less than stellar shape. I inspected it and side 2 has mostly surface scuffs and is playable while side one looks too risky to subject my cartridge stylus to this type of experiment.
I played side 2 and was pretty impressed by the sound quality. Hence my interest about the versions of this album. I’m thinking since I liked this edition to just pick up a VG+ or M- of this and call it done, or hunt down something better.
