Zarathustra

Released in a gatefold textured cover - some copies have the record opening on the bottom seam Labels on the 1973 original have a flat profile. A 2025 review on this page describes a raised outer label ring on some copies and dates that to a 1974 repress; this specific claim is not corroborated by any reference sources and should be treated as unverified. Genuine copies carry the full stamped runout, S-6113-1 15/5/73 on side A and S-6113-2 15/5/73 on side B. A counterfeit of the Ricordi pressing has circulated since 2015 (italianprog.com). It closely reproduces the artwork, but the cover is smooth rather than textured, the labels are smooth rather than rough, and the seam carries the group name and album title, where genuine copies show only the catalogue number. This is consistent with an unrelated report on this page of a counterfeit copy lacking any matrix number.
