Release notes

Earlier RCA Indianapolis pressing shows publishing credits, at the bottom after the track titles, for all tracks as "New Claims" on side 1.
(Later pressings A1 & A2 have separate publishing credits.)

As on all US copies, Side B jacket credits show track 3 in error twice on back of sleeve where the recorded at credits incorrectly mention tracks 1-3 and 3 & 4 (supposed to be 1-3 and 4 & 5).

Track A5 duration is incorrectly claimed to be 4:48 on both sleeve and label. played at approximately 33-1/3 rpm the digitally timed duration is 4:15.

The "face with pointy ears" or ⚇ or 😈 (pig's snout) in runouts indicates Lacquer Cut By Frank DeLuna.
