Notes

Track A4 is as per the label and that shown here, but on the cover it is shown as "Cosmic Energy", which is an error. Therefore, the majority of the credits for this track are missing.

Recorded at Media Sound Studio, New York, NY, USA.

Reissue of unknown origin and date.Repressing with corrected cover: track A4 is properly credited on the cover and in the gatefold as "Sunshine And Love" (early covers incorrectly read “Cosmic Energy”).

Label Variation: "Dist. Nationally by P.I.P. Records" is NOT set in semi-circular white text along the bottom rim of the label, but instead is part of the text block beneath the song titles.

Recorded at: Media Sound Studio, 311 West 57th St, N.Y.C.
Mixing at: Record Plant, L.A.
