Notes:

“A Columbia recording, issued excusively in Australia by World Record Club.”

Australian WRC 1st pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. Mono and stereo versions have an identical sleeve and the same number on the back (D 891) – the mono version has “D-891” on beige ‘strobe’ labels, while the stereo has “SD-891” on green ‘strobe’ labels. There is a printed “stereo” rosette on the back, and the mono has a red sticker with “mono” placed over this (though these tend to drop off with age).

Although only issued once, there are two cover variations, indicating a repress shortly after its initial issue. The first pressing has the stereo rosette off-kilter, and it is obscured by the flipback. The 2nd pressing has the rosette much lower down.

Issued as a ‘dividend’ release, offered at a low price ($1.80 vs the regular $3.75) for club members who had bought one LP or more in the previous 12 months (the “D” is no doubt a code for “Dividend”). Only known Australian WRC pressing.
