          The German copy is supposedly better than the UK one, and both of them are the only ones that are actually worth it since the master tapes were ruined and lost for 34 years and the only first press versions that used the original master tapes are those two. The 2010 re-issue is digitally fixed by the original of the band after they found the tapes in 2003 and is worth getting if you can't get one of those.

          If you find a copy of this in satisfactory condition though- don't count your pennies and buy it right away the experience and pressing is great.
