Notes

A: Robbins Music Corp. Ltd.
B: Cop. Con.
C & D: A. Schroeder Music Pub. Co. Ltd.

This is an early transitional UK version, with the older 'Cop. Con.' credit on side B only. It has the same disc 1 configuration as the June 1970 1st pressing (Third). At time of writing there are at least three known transitional variant configurations of these labels.

CBS inner sleeves are of the earlier 1970 type – a grid of CBS releases starting with Johnny Winter on one side, and 'Here's how records give you more' text on the other.

Gatefold cover printed and made by the E.J. Day Group (subsequent editions are found in E.J. Day Group, MacNeill Press Ltd., and Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. sleeves)

"Facelift" was recorded live at Fairfield Hall Croydon January 4th 1970 and at Mothers Club, Birmingham January 11th 1970.

℗ 1970
Made in England

Track B.b is only mentioned inside the gatefold, neither on the tracklisting on the back cover nor on the label.
'O.40' is stated next to the composer credit.

    Thanks for making this. My copy has all of these features. Found at London's Haggle Vinyl in 2011. Wish that shop was still in business. Also came with the promotional insert for the record.
