Notes

I strongly suspect that this is a UK re-issue c.1979/1980 to coincide with the use of "To The Unknown Man" by the BBC for its coverage of the 1979 World Snooker Championship.
This might help explain the appearance of Tape One on the runouts as BilBo only started working at Tape One in 1978.

Bottom centre of the front sleeve reads: "Going on means going far. Going far means returning." (Tao Te Ching)
Sleeve notes to A3 reads: "inspired by the Dervish dancer who by his whirling realises the spiralling of the universe"
