I am not sure, if this is an austrian pressing or an italian one of armato. The year of release isn't clear either. Bought my copy in 2021 as lowered price offer. So, this might have been pressed very late after first release.

There are existing a lot of different Pressings.
First european seems to be of EMI UDEN. This were also used for Reissues. Discogs listed also one of armato, wich has also the Universal Logo at the Matrix, but different imprinted numbers.
