Notes

Recorded Spring/Summer 1969.

Released in matt gatefold sleeve with 'Swirl' Vertigo inner bag dated October 1970.

This is a 1970 repress on the Vertigo "Large Swirl" label with no "A PHILIPS RECORD PRODUCT" credit on label and inside sleeve as was on the earliest editions, and with light font/layout differences in label text.
This edition has the most symmetrical layout of title and artist text on label, other 1970 releases are more or less off.
