Notes

This original release of "Rocks" comes with a textured cover on both the front & back, the title "Rocks" is shown in quotes, it contains a printed inner sleeve, and it lacks the "All Rights Reserved..." text on the back cover near the bottom.

Later pressings feature: A) Plain smooth cover, B) The title Rocks is shown without quotes. C) The text "All Rights Reserved..." is printed on the back cover near the bottom.

Dedicated to the memories of Anthony D. Perry and Herb Spar.

STERLING & P are stamped in runouts
The stamped P denotes a Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Pitman pressing.
Variant 6 side A has no STERLING stamp

    I have a copy with a smoothed sleeve. "All rights reserved" isn't on the back and the title is quoted. The matrix run-outs both have 'IF' at the end. Which version is this?

      I also have a copy with a textured front and back but rocks are unquoted. There is a P in the runout...

        My copy is embossed both sides but doesn't have ROCKS between quotes, so maybe it falls between an early and a later release ...

          Only one I've found where one of the matrix numbers match what I have. Side B variant 4. My Side A has the same 1K at the end of matrix. Also, label is JC-34165 as opposed to PC.

            This is the record that got me interested in collecting vinyl in the first place.

              The 8th track's exact title is Lick and "a" promise Could somebody correct this ? It has been wrongly duplicated on all the releases.
