Looking at the Discogs offering now, I must say that I do see a surprising number of sellers in the Netherlands for this specific record, a number even offering near-mint condition. I did expect the usual problem of "$X plus $35 shipping and lots of annoyances with customs", but it seems to be much better than I expected.


Let's see what shows up :) Pressings can be wildly different. Also: beware of reissues, it was reissued several times.


What's the concern with reissued copies? More wear on the negative?


Possibly remastered (so different sound), possibly much later negatives made from the positive (positives wear too, a positive master for a million seller is a very precious thing (see below)). Far less valuable. Usually much thinner than the earlier ones so more prone to warping if not stored very nicely.

And if you're very unlucky it was made through an intermediary set of positive/negative.
