Notes

This is an early Columbia, Pittman pressing variation
as indicated by "P" stamped in the runout areas.

The labels are green, with "WB" shield logo at top.
The "W7" Seven-Arts logo still appears on the front and rear of the sleeve.

This LP was released right during the crossover period ('69,'70)
from "Warner Bros, Seven-Arts Records, Inc." to "Warner Bros. Records, Inc."
