Other notes:
Original release date (UK): 30 Nov 1973
Addtl. cat# ILPS9265 of original UK release on Island label listed on cover.

The release comes in a paper gatefold cover and is carried out as a replica of the original vinyl edition with inner paper lyrics sleeve (so called Paper Sleeve Collection Vol.I). It also comes with a paper obi strip and an additional information inlay mostly in Japanese language.

Inconsistency: The European ARIOLA release, the Canadian Polydor release and this release list different authors for track 5.

Inconsistency: The cover lists 'Manfred Mann and Earthband' as the producer, the label only 'Manfred Mann'.
