Notes

Alternate fonts and spacing were used on the labels. A more noticeable difference is "A Python Production for Charisma Records" is on one line instead of two. Similar to Monty Python - The Monty Python Matching Tie And Handkerchief except no 'PRC' in runout.

Album originally released in 1973. This release uses the same 3-sided pressing gimmick found on the original UK release. Sides 2 and 3, while being both physically located on the B-side, travel in parallel grooves simultaneously with each other. When playing side B, one hears different audio depending on the groove into which the needle drops.

There are no track titles printed on the release. Both sides are jokingly labeled as "Side 2" but each label has its own code: AL 4039 SA for side A and AL 4039 SB for side B.

The sleeve is die-cut and printed to look like a three-dimensional box. The center window of the sleeve reveals a 'tie & handkerchief', but when one pulls the inner sleeve out, the unfortunate current owner of the tie & handkerchief is revealed.

Later reissues do not have the 3-sided pressing gimmick.
