Notes

This version has yellow labels with "STEREO" below the catalog number to the left of the spindle-hole.
Issued with a 'Good News' newspaper sticker with a track-list on the front of the gatefold sleeve. Another version of the sticker includes a photo and additional text: see Images.
Spine shows artist name printed in white, a blue rectangle, then the title, EPIC and cat# all printed in blue.
Includes a printed lyrics insert.

Promotional copies have a wide white timing-strip on the front cover along with the "Good News" sticker but they have the regular yellow labels.

Retail copies may have a hype sticker stating: 'Featuring The Hit Single "Family Affair"': the single and LP were released the same week, however, so the sticker is either later or just ...confident.

    Found this at a local record shop for $15 CAD. Discs are NM!

    The recording/production is not as sleek/polished as their next album - Fresh. However, the record sounds dynamic, big and wide. Great soundstage, with touch of intended murkiness (most likely due to overdubs done during the recording process).

    This is a super fun jam record! Happy to own the first pressing :)

      Sly + Family at the peak of their powers. Even my beat up copy sounds great. There's a DIY murkiness to TARGO, that's how it was intended.
