Notes not on release:
This original LP was released in the US only.
Although it has a misleadingly similar sleeve design, most of the music on this album is very different from that on the well-known "Valentyne Suite" released just a few months earlier in the UK. (a. o. due to the replacement of James Litherland for Dave Clempson)
