;)
The rare original LP is the one pictured here, where you'll find tracks not found on other reissues, such as "People Get Ready," "A Man," "Amen," etc.

The other releases are a mix of everything that exists.
But none of that matters.
Thanks anyway.
All this time I have been looking for the original recording but I have not had success. :C
