Notes

Nearly identical repro of the original edition with the same text printed on green 'PIR' labels showing a 'concentric rings' texture as opposed to the smooth labels of '70s and later pressings. The cover has no different print but is on heavier and glossier card than the original.

Title on labels and spine: 'Collectors' Item'.

Recorded at Sigma Sound Studios, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Mastered at Frankford/Wayne Recording Labs, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
