The consensus seems to be that this is the reissue to get if you can't find the CB/SH one and the following review provides some background: https://vinylreviews.com/album/court-and-spark/.
As noted in the review and in comments on the Steve Hoffman forum, issues with the pressing can be experienced.
This copy plays Excellent overall and the cut from the analogue master is impressive.
However, the LP has a slight warp (doesn't affect playback) and there are a small number of instances when the sound is distorted for brief instances (non-fill ?).
It's a lovely listen bar these glitches and this release is not that common in the UK.
The embossed thick card sleeve is graded as Near Mint.
LP has been cleaned on an Okki Nokki RCM with L'Art du Son fluid prior to listing and is stored within a Mofi inner sleeve.
UK buyers only, please.
