I'm not too sure about this. It might be a Jugoslavian copy of the Italian version. It's really good, though, but still.

I've got a Copi from '78, made in Holland. This album's got an amazing set of songs and Bob Dylan & his band put on a great show. I'd totally suggest giving it a listen, even though I'd love to see a version for audiophiles.
