Without closer inspection, I'm willing to bet this is a late '70s reissue:

while this is original:

Originals have a very simple deadwax # IAS 4 Side 1 IA


70's boxed set repros have nearly identical covers and labels, but the label is slightly off on color and blurred. The giveaway is the deadwax: Ach 7PV 45319 followed by 08088.


 
The description of the "TOP COPY" says that it's 37 years old which means it's a 1978 pressing. I guess the bidders got hypnotized by the swirling vortex of font sizes, colors, and superlatives that the seller uses.
