Notes

Compared with all A&M Canada SP-4519 Discogs releases, this in-hand example does not precisely match any.

Specific condition of this in-hand example, at this time:
- Images to be borrowed when identical.
- Matrix run-outs not yet examined.
- Includes A&M Records Protective Sleeve with handling recommendations in English and French, "printed in USA" but with Canadian company address provided.
- No "large poster" or inner liner notes found with this copy, as mentioned by the most similar other release.

THIS release comes closest to matching Cat Stevens - Greatest Hits.

They share these characteristics:
- Front Cover appears identical.
- LP Labels using large AM background in tan on beige and text in black, with large caps for individuals titles.

But differ thus:
- Back Cover, especially colour tones and manufactured and distributed notice at bottom edge. THIS release has bronze lettering on black background, white locus symbols in corners, and notice in white lettering over two lines:

"Fabrique at Distribue par / Manufactured and Distributed by A & M Records of Canada Limited, 939 Warden Avenue,
Scarborough, Ontario M1L 4C5 Trademarks used under licence from Trademark Owner A & M Records, Inc."

Comparison of other releases with differences itemized:

Cat Stevens - Greatest Hits
Also very similar, including the back cover, but a variant of the large A&M two-tone logo label design.
Unlike the comparison, MY release includes numerals "1" and "2" at top of each label, and provides a modest amount of data on the circumference lower edge only.

Cat Stevens - Greatest Hits
M&D data in single white line including image copyright data not found in THIS release.
Labels lack A&M background of THIS release but include Tiger image not found on THIS release.

Cat Stevens - Greatest Hits
Rear cover maroon type may be false contrast (really the same?) BUT M&D data also in red (above faint white second line?), unlike THIS release.
Labels lack A&M background of THIS release but include Tiger image not found on THIS release.

Labels VERY different.

Cat Stevens - Greatest Hits
Columbia House release. Different details on back cover bottom. Very different labels. My example does not have liner insert found here.

Much like last comparison. Club edition. Different back cover details as above. Labels use small type variant of large A&M two-tone logo label design.
