Recorded At Strawberry Studios Mastered At Strawberry Mastering Lacquer Cut At Strawberry Mastering Pressed By PRS Hannover Record Company Deutsche Grammophon Hamburg Comes with 24X12 colour poster out of paper (three times smaller than the original one), folded in the middle, with lyrics, credits and other info printed black in white on its back side. Album title and butterfly contours on front cover are embossed. PRS Hannover logo only embossed (not printed) on back cover.
As any other release of this album all over the world, track titles are given wrong as well on back cover as on centre labels, the only relevant track list is the one on the back side of poster where the album is conceived in five sections: 1° Fantasy (containing traks A1 and A2), 2° Classics (A3 and A4), 3° Fact (A5, A6, B1 and B2), 4° Sience Fiction (B3 and B4) and 5° Fiction (containing a single one track B5). Thus, some titles are erroneously extended with subtitles on centre labels - track A1: Loving Is Easy (Fantasy), track A3: A Tale Of Two Sixties (Classics) missing the factual subtitle given on poster, track A5: The Closes Shop (Fact) with the second word additionally misprinted (Closes instead of Closed), track B3: Nova Lepidoptera (Science Fiction) and The Streets Of San Francisco (Fiction) as well the same titles are extended with section titles on back cover - track A1: FANTASY: LOVING IS EASY, track A3: CLASSICS: A TALE OF TWO SIXTIES also missing the factual subtitle given on poster, track A5: FACT: THE CLOSED SHOP, track B3: SCIENCE FICTION: NOVA LEPIDOPTERA and FICTION: THE STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO. Track B2 subtitle omitted both on back cover and on centre label. A typo in the list of instruments played by Les: ALEMBIC CUSTOMISED STREREO BASS GUITAR - STREREO instead of STEREO. Typoes in the list of instruments played by Mel: ROTA-TOMS instead of Rototoms, GLOKENSPIEL instead of Glockenspiel and CABASSA instead of Cabasa.
