From a warehouse find, this is a new, unplayed stock copy of the versatile Robert John's remake of the Tokens classic, in its original factory sleeve. By the way, Tokens fans, note that this version was produced and arranged by Hank Medress of the original Tokens, which partly explains why it's such a joyful, faithful update.
