You think that you have seen this record several times before...probably not!
This is an ultra rare early issue with the cover printed in mali, not in nigeria like the copies usually seen. 
The cover is made of thin paper, the previous releases are listed on the back (nothing on the nigerian) and some noticeable differences are visible in front:

- "soundiata" & "l'exil" is printed in blue (black on the nigerian)

- "bonne etat" handwritten on top right & "HNLX5146" on top right are printed on the nigerian issue (not on the malian).
The record is the same nigerian pressing as the second issue.
Both cover & record are in very nice condition, really lovely for top notch collectors, don't miss it! listen:
