________________

The cover lists conflicting information compared to the label:
Cover does not list Rogers as co-author for Track A3.
Track A5 producer is given with "David Mackay" on cover due to missing index. The production credits are inconsistent throughout several releases of this album: Compare the original UK release Manfred Mann's Earth Band, the original US Polydor release Manfred Mann's Earth Band and the re-release on remastered CD Manfred Mann's Earth Band. The exact split of the producer responsibilities is unknown, but most likely as follows:
Manfred Mann/Dave Hadfield: Tracks A2, A3, B1 to B3, B5
David Mackay: Tracks: A1, A4, B4
Ambiguous info: Track A5 (but believed to be produced by Mann/Hadfield as it seems to be more consistent)
