Notes

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

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

Released in a gatefold cover. Initial copies were accompanied by a poster.

The Quote from "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There are 2 completely different mixes of this, the first of which was withdrawn soon after release.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The first ''withdrawn'' mix has no "G" in the run-out, the ''remix'' has a ''G'' there, see The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other.
This submission: the original ''withdrawn'' mix.
