Nightflight To Venus

First pressing of this album, which contains lots of different versions, only available on this pressing. The biggest difference is the main title track 'Nightflight To Venus' which is more than 7 minutes! 'Rasputin' has a unique instrumental part within the last verse. Both as medley play continuously without interruption (total actual duration 13:37 min). This first pressing is easy to distinguish from the other pressings. On side A, only 4 tracks are visually recognizable; "Nightflight To Venus" & "Rasputin" are not visually separated. Also, a different mix for "He Was A Steppenwolf" & a slightly different version of "Voodoonight". Released with a sheet of five detachable postcards, each with a picture of a band member, respectively of the band. It may not include in all batches of this release.
