This variant is very similar to Songs For Beginners, but both labels correctly credit Giving Room Music as publisher instead of Living Room Music.
On Variant 2, the distance between the artist credit and the wording "Produced by Graham Nash" on the label for Side B is greater than on Variant 1. Also the combination "14" for both the runout strings on variants 2 and 3 have the 1 and the 4 over-stamped on top of each other.
