Notes

Recorded at Trident Studios, London, 11th to 14th December 1969. ℗ 1970.

Released in a gatefold cover.
Includes a double sided poster.

First cat.nr. on cover, second on label.

The quote in "After the Flood" was from Albert Einstein.

There are 2 completely different mixes of this, the first of which was withdrawn soon after release. They are discernable only by scrutinizing the run-out groove.
The first ''withdrawn'' mix has no "G" in the run-out, the ''remix'' has a ''G'' there.
This submission: second mix with ''G'' in runout.

The withdrawn mix is The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other.
