the cover of this reissue is far from an accurate reproduction of the original. The material for the banana is different, the finish and stock of the cover are different, etc. But it's very nice for what it is and will probably be a collectable in its own right some day.

Also, while those pointing out the album isn't exactly audiophile fare to begin with are correct, an off-center pressing will introduce a kind of distortion to the recording (wow and flutter) that was not the original intent of the artists. Just because an album isn't Famous Blue Raincoat or some other audiophile approved recording does not excuse a poor pressing.
