Notes

Recorded at A&M Studios, Los Angeles, California
First issues have a dark blue textured ("hessian weave") gatefold sleeve; blue inner; and tan 'riverboat' labels without a small WB logo in the perimeter text at right.

This is a label variant that does not have 'Made In The UK' on the label at all. Very similar to Blue but that one has a small "v" below the catalogue number on side B label.

The other first press K 44128 label variant has 'Made In The UK' above the '33 RPM' text.

    I’ve just acquired this pressing except the lyrics/credits in the gatefold are printed upside down!

      Definitely sounds fantastic. Clear with great separation and dynamic. Recommend

        Date listed on my vinyl label is 1971 while this Discog listing says pressing is 1972. Is this mismatch common?
        This is the K 44128 (2038) press, with textured sleeve and blue liner. No mention of "Made in the UK".
