I've just checked my copy & the inscriptions in the dead wax are incorrect/incomplete. I'll update the notes. The record is also translucent under a strong light. I'll try to get a photo to put up.

Arguably one of the best recordings/ pressings of this album. Very rare to find, which causes somewhat of an issue! Love this album.
