Release notes

The album was recorded at Trident Studios, London, between November 8th, 1971 and February 4th, 1972, except “It Ain’t Easy”, recorded July 9th, 1971 during the ‘Hunky Dory’ sessions.

First UK issue. Glossy non paper labels. Inner sleeve includes lyrics and band portraits. Initial copies came with a single sheet insert promoting the then current tour running 2nd through 25th June, 1972. Other identifying features include a Titanic Music publishing credit and no Mainman logo on the back of the sleeve. Later issues have a Mainman publishing credit in place of Titanic and include a Mainman logo on the rear of the sleeve.

The front cover of this issue is derived from the US artwork, with the RCA Victor logo and US catalogue number obscured. (It is possible to discern a rectangle over which the UK details have been placed.) Not to be confused with the second issue cover, where the catalogue number alone has been replaced.

First and second cat # on cover and labels, third on inner sleeve.
