Notes

First run Capitol Records Pressing Plant, Los Angeles pressing (indicated by "✲" in runouts), with track A2 incorrectly listed as "Hold On" on the back cover, side A label and booklet.

All non-promo Apple pressings of this have the incorrect title of "Hold On" on the labels, and the wrong time for B3 "Six O'Clock", listed at 5:26 but plays at 4:05.

This contains the 4:05 version of "Six O'Clock" but label reads 5:26. (The long version (5:26) of "Six O'Clock" was only issued on vinyl pressings that were distributed as promo copies before the album was re-mastered with the edited version, in very limited pressings. The long version is visually the widest track on side 2. However, the long version IS on original cassette and 8-track pressings.)

Additional recording at The Burbank Studios, Sound Labs and Producer's Workshop, Los Angeles and E.M.I. Studios, London
