Rolling Stones Fans- I Need advice

Yes, Goat's Head Soup was the next album after Exile.

Yes, Goat's Head Soup released in August 1973 followed Exile in May 1972.

Great information Jwong. Here's a question: I have two copies of this album. Both are stamped "COC 59100". One has the address at the bottom but only the one COC code, at the top. The other has the code at the top and the bottom, but no address; it has a copywrite warning instead. Both are inscribed "Rolling Stones Records" in the dead wax, but the one with the warning is a typeface inscription. The other is hand-inscribed. The typeface copy opens from the top and has a printing date--1971 with the "P" in a circle. The other opens from the side and has no printing date. One cost $100+. The other cost 99 cents. Which is the original? Are they both original but from different countries? Both sound excellent, with, maybe, a slightly better dynamic presentation in the typeface copy.

The hand inscribed copy is the original.

Thanks, Audiofeil. So is the other one a first edition, second printing, or a second printing? I think deciphering the matrix code is throwing me off.
