"Yes. Here’s what the original looks like:"
"Co they are instantly distinguishable if you know what you are looking at?"
"The original is just a regular record album on black vinyl. They reissued the original recording as a picture disc."
"It was. Thanks Ballroom. I am sleepy I guess. Did the 1964 issue look the same color-wise? I was unsure what I was seeing at Discogs."
"Ha ha, fab432."
