This is a UK original Double LP pressing. It has a fold-out gatefold poster sleeve. The sleeve folds out to a giant sized poster. The sleeve is printed on matt card. The sleeve has a 1973 printing date. This is at the bottom spine area on the rear sleeve. It comes complete with both its original custom orange "psychedelic" inner sleeves. It also comes complete with its original fold-out Insert/ Poster. This is printed on paper. Only the very earliest UK pressings came complete with this insert.
