          The album begins with what is either called "Snakeman Show" or "Jingle Y.M.O.".
          The voice I hear is clearly by Wolfman Jack, but he's not credited elsewhere on the record, right?

              I have a copy of this on 12" black wax, run out on A is AMSP04813-A
              production No. Is A&M SP-4813

              Is this an unarchived copy or a bootleg?

                Public Pressure Album took the Top of the chart in Japan and the record company requested them to release the next as soon as possible.
                So they decided to release a 10-inch mini album with a comedy part of the Snake Man Show.
                But this unusual release created new fans and YMO became even more famous.
                At the end of the comedy part, three are also participating.
                In release it was sold with a mini album embedded in LP size cardboard.

                  edit - not the same as the 12" LP. See other entry.

                    Back in the day!
                    I had a 12" version of the album in the UK that was pressed in yellow vinyl.

                      This is the 1st pressing - later copies had sleeves and labels corrected to list all 12 of the tracks on the album.
