An H.M.V. recording, released exclusively in Australia by The Record Society.

Australian WRC 1st pressing for the Record Society, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. S/6272 on sleeve, S-6272 on labels. The cover art had been used by Record Of The Month Club (2) for S/108 in 1966, before WRC acquired the label. The first for a new era for The Record Society - from July 1968, LPs were not issued in gatefold sleeves, and were no longer offered in mono. The 1st pressing can be identified by the dark brown labels, the textured sleeve, and the 1968 address combination on the sleeve.
