    Musically magnificent but thematically traumatic Brecht/Weill influenced art-glam rock opera concept album immaculately performed & produced w/ fantastic arrangements, great lyrics & inspired guests.
    Harrowingly brilliant.

      I've got one (orange labels) with matrix/runout data as: A-side APL1 0207A 9S A6 I, B-side APL 1 0207 B 10S I A2 . Is it same release or RE 1976?

        For records like these the word 'Masterpiece' was invented. If you haven't heard it yet, praise yourself lucky and do yourself a favor: do not listen to the tracks separately but listen to the whole album with a good glass of red wine on a pair of good speakers on a cold winter evening. Enjoy!
