Notes
Second Japanese issue (CBS/SONY SOPO-124), 1975: Postcard gatefold picture sleeve with unique wrap-around obi (eventually recreated for Sony Japan’s 1999 “LP-style” CD reissue of the album), which was utilized on both promo copies and regular stock pressings. The promo issue additionally included a set of stapled, Japanese-language DJ info sheets, while stock copies came with a two-sided CBS/Sony card (also in Japanese) that appears to be some kind of questionnaire. Many thanks to Lost In The Flood site.
