Reviews
-
Solid sound on this pressing. Fairly noisy vinyl like almost all other mid-70's MCA records. My personal favorite Elton John album. -
Anyone know the approx. value if it's sealed? I have a copy from 1975 that's sealed and am looking to sell
-
My version doesn't have the "P" and the diamond-shaped etchings or stampings, as far as I can tell, and I've looked very close.
