Notes

Differentiating this release from other similar releases:
1. Columbia Records Terre Haute Pressing as derived from the "T1" and "CTH" etching in the A-side deadwax.
2. Sides labeled as Side 1 and Side 2 (some copies are jokingly labeled Side 2 on both sides).
3. Side indicators on labels are in bold print, label matrices below the side indicators are in standard print.
4. 1973 copyright information only on the labels with the addition of 1975 copyrights on the inner sleeve.
5. Light blue Arista labels with rim text that reads "ARISTA RECORDS INC. 1776 Broadway, New York, New York 10019."

This release uses the same 3-sided pressing gimmick found on the original UK release. Sides 2 and 3, while being both physically located on the B-side, travel in parallel grooves simultaneously with each other. When playing side B, one hears different audio depending on the groove into which the needle drops.

There are no track titles printed on the release.

The sleeve is die-cut and printed to look like a three-dimensional box. The center window of the sleeve reveals a 'tie & handkerchief', but when one pulls the inner sleeve out, the unfortunate current owner of the tie & handkerchief is revealed.

Additional library recordings provided by Keith Prowse Music Ltd. and De Wolfe Ltd.

Later reissues do not have the 3-sided pressing gimmick.
