Notes

Compared to the other 2 US pressings with the same catalogue number, this pressing:
1. has no runout stamp to identify it as either a Gloversville pressing nor a Pinkneyville pressing.
2. labels are different and the MCA rainbow on labels have different colour scheme in the rainbows (see scans) i.e. what should be the "red" portion of the spectrum is "orange" and what should be the "blue" part of the spectrum is "green".
3. colour of the cover is an olive green rather than a bright green (see images) and
4. does not include pull out lyric sheet with photos of the band members on the reverse side.

Recorded In February and March 1973 at Olympic and Apple Studios - London.
