This is one of the two original pressings of Meteora.
This one is made in the U.S.A. and the second one is made in Germany.

This pressing was issued in gatefold cover with a double sided printed insert.
The records was housed in standard white paper inner sleeves.

The cover on this pressing is very similar to the Czech Republic reissue from 2014, which got the same catalog number and barcode on the gatefold sleeve.
It also shares barcode with the original german pressing and the second Czech Republic reissue from 2020.
