Annotation

Original 1969 stereo mix, 200-gram super-heavyweight vinyl, after a 20 year absence, one of the most frequently requested high quality vinyl reissues has finally returned to the 12" format.

Newly cut from masters approved by Robert Fripp and presented in the original iconic gatefold sleeve, this edition contains bonus MP3 codes giving access to a download of a transfer of an original 1969 pressing.
