This is not a record-club release. It is the original issue.
Note: I haven't cleaned this 39-year-old vinyl record because everybody seems to prefer their own methods. I'll leave the cleaning up to the buyer. Also, I'm not a professional vinyl seller or buyer. This comes from my own collection. Bought at Books, Strings & Things, downtown Blacksburg VA.
Enjoy the auction — and good luck!
