Notes

Original UK release in matte gatefold cover.

This orange bulls eye pink label design was the one used at the time of the initial UK release (this one). This was only used for a very short period of time before the pink black block i label was introduced (from August 1969) and then replaced with the pink small white i label (from October 1969).
The pink rim label (from November 1970) was a later pressing.

      My Canadian version differs from UK one by not only the three tracks (A3, B1, B2) but the sound mix as well! It's just like listening to another album of theirs.

        One of the most ahead-of-it's-time album covers I've ever seen.
