Edited 3 years agoOdd , the one I've got is the censored one without the gear wheel thing but it is a gatefold.

If you don’t care about getting the cool sleeve and uncensored art of the first pressing, these are a bargain. I can’t compare the sound to the first pressings but my copy sounds really good.
