[Cover]

[Side B label]
- Big "swirl" label.
- "Ⓟ 1969" sits slightly to the right above "33⅓", unlike other versions where it sits above, left justified as on release Valentyne Suite.
- Also, there is a small gap between "℗ 1969" and "33⅓" where a larger gap exists on some labels, as on Valentyne Suite.
- "A Philips Record Product" at six o'clock below 'VERTIGO'. This was removed on later releases.

Absolutely genius. Brain melting Jazz-Rock. This particular pressing is super nice as well (obviously, I did not hear them all). The mix is great and the clarity of each individual instrument is fascinating. -
My copy has this label design, but at the end of the matrix number there's a 6 on side B and a 4 on side A.
