[78-L] London -- Made in England?

[David Lennick]

536 was the US issue as well. I've also had that one on a DJ vinyl pressing 
(American). Not that it helped..the sound on that recording is garbage, being 
dubbed from bits of the soundtrack glued together, 97th generation in the first 
place. I don't even know if it's anywhere near the correct pitch.
