• Pinckneyville pressing. (NOTE: I QUESTION THE PICKNEYVILLE PRESSING, SINCE THERE IS NO ICON IN RUNOUTS).
• Glossy chipboard inner sleeve is a bold teal with band and album name in same font and design as outer sleeve, reverse side has lyrics and credits printed in white on black, with teal and red titles.

•"SLM △" in the runout etching indicates that the lacquer disc was processed at, and the metal parts used to manufacture the record were made at Sheffield Lab Matrix; however, the "PRECISION" etching and sleeve credits show actual mastering at Precision. The D.L. in runouts stands for "direct lathe" for cuts with the Neumann DMM lathe.
• Some copies might have a 'MCA 1571' gold stamper on front cover (MY COPY DOES).
• LP was later reissued under catalog number MCA 1571 and some early reissues were housed in original covers with the new number stamped in gold on the front covers. See: [r5217025].
• A version also exists with the same catalog number, similar runouts, and pressed at Pinckneyville, but alternately labeled as a "limited edition premium pressing": [r5271920]
