This copy is a true enigma!
I purchased this Spalax reissue sealed at Wha-wha records in Barcelona some years ago –the shop that has reissued lately all classic krautrock albums from the golden era.
I expected to find the usual sinlgle cover with booklet that is now pretty rare:
http://www.discogs.com/Ash-Ra-Tempel-Ash-Ra-Tempel/release/2764581

BUT when I opened it I was both surprised and delighted as the vinyl was housed into a FULL MULTI-FOLDED COVER, IDENTICAL to the ORIGINAL with code OMM 56013 –see pictures!

As long and as far as I have tried, I have never find out neither any info about such issue nor any other similar copy all over the web...
My only guess (?) would be that this could be a very limited first, virtually unnoticed run of Spalax... but, as the cover doesn't follow the Spalax catalogue number but the Original Ohr, this seems RARE indeed...
–especially if you take into account that at the time there was no counterfeit reissues of this jewel, just the original and the Spalax!–

As I said, a true enigma for me... any helping info welcomed!
