Tracks A3 and B1 were recorded live at the Carré Thorigny Theatre Paris on 30th October 1972; the remainder were recorded at Advision Studios, London, in November 1972.
Additional note: there is much confusion about the actual sequence of the album but, after checking 2 different copies of the UK version, the actual data are as follows
1st UK pressing: Matrix / Runout (Run-out side A, stamped): ILPS 9228 A - 1 U Matrix / Runout (Run-out side B, stamped): ILPS 9228 B - 1 U this is the UK pressing with the track Sunrise as A1 and correct cover credits (as described above).
2nd UK pressing: Matrix / Runout (Run-out side A, stamped): ILPS 9228 A - 2 U Matrix / Runout (Run-out side B, stamped): ILPS 9228 B - 2 U this is the pressing with Scoop as A1 & Awa Odori as A2, with Mountain Pass placed at the end of the album as B3 (but the cover and titles are the same of the 1st pressing, no corrections); here's the alternate sequence: A1 Scoop A2 Awa Odori A3 What A Way To Live In Modern Times A4 My Little Friend B1 Mandala B2 Memory Of Hiroshima B3 Mountain Pass
Last but not least there are 2 different booklets in circulation, both very rare. Matrix / Runout: ILPS 9228 A - 1 U (Run-out side A, stamped) Matrix / Runout: ILPS 9228 B - 1 U (Run-out side B, stamped)
