    Find it in NM state, so decided to bring it home. The misprint doesn't bother me, unfortunately the sound it's flat and lifelessness.... Not usual on Portuguese releases, usually they are very very good, so was a surprise to me.

      Bought at the market for EUR 15, but seems to be misprint.

        For some reason my mom has a copy of this, misprints and everything. She's from the US, and I don't think she's traveled to Portugal. Anyway, the sound quality on this is terrible. Tested it against a US original pressing to make sure, and it almost sounds like a low- filter was put on the mix. Who knows why. The jacket is super thin and flimsy, as well.

          My copy of this has the word “wait” spelled correctly on the A-side label

            Mediocre pressing. Sounds muddy and flat compared to my European copy.
