Notes:

Mid 1971 UK pressing (aka 2nd press). Here is the transitional variant for this repress The main difference from the previous issues is changes in label design: 1) Labels have a new design with boxed 'EMI' logo, in the upper left section right above the inscription 'HARVEST' (since about June 1971); 2) The Ⓟ icon (under the 'Side A/B' indicator on labels) has the same size as the year '1970' to the right of it (since about December 1970 / January 1971) Other main identifiers are quite similar to the previous early UK issues: - Laminated gatefold sleeve with 'Printed and Made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.' in most cases have an additional fine keyline box around the EMI and Harvest logos on the front of the sleeve. But the 1st sleeve variant with a single bold line around the logos is still valid. - Inner sleeve: mostly the 'Harvest' advertising inner sleeve. However, plain EMI inner sleeve with 'Patent Nos. 1125555' text and 'Made In Great Britain' text near the bottom is still valid; - Runouts: A2 / B1 (until about mid-1975); - The upper rim text begins with 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD.' (until about May 1974); - The inscription 'MADE IN GT. BRITAIN' on labels is separated of the lower rim text and centered above the circular bottom line (until about May 1974); - Song listing in 3-lines for side A and in 4 lines for side B (until about the second half of 1972). ℗ 1970 Produced for Edwards Coletta Productions Each track is a group composition Made and Printed in Great Britain Printed and Made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd.
