Comments:
Information from CD.
Although it makes sense, the release as an LP is doubtful, no trace being found; nearly all CDs releases under the label Astr&eeacute;e E 77xx were originaly released in LP format as original edition. Maybe it was planned and never released due to the change from the LP to the CD era.
