Released in the USA September 1977 on Warner Brothers BSK 3145.
First released as a re-mastered CD by Castle in 1997 as ESMCD560 with three bonus tracks.
The vinyl version of the album was released worldwide (except North America) as a single sleeve cover with a lyric cover insert or separate lyric insert sheet.
The US and Canada has a different (and rather dreadful) snakeskin effect cover with various pictures of the band on it. This has been included on the reverse of the booklet for those in North America that need the 'original' effect.
