Notes
This is an early Columbia, Santa Maria pressing variation
as indicated by "S 1" etched in the runout areas.
The labels are green, with "WB" shield logo at top.
The "W7" Seven-Arts logo still appears on 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."
And even though it has the "WB shield" logo on the labels, it may also
be the original west coast pressing of this release.
First cat. # on front
Sec. cat. # on back, & labels.
