Notes

Label variant, with "Set No." in title case.

The first issues were printed by Euro-Albums Holland B.V. and have a soft, almost pastel grey finish whereas later issues look "blacker." This later pressing has "Printed and made by Howards Printers (Slough) Ltd. England."

On the spine of the outer cover, there is: the group name, album name, "Track Deluxe Double" and catalogue number 2657 013.

Very first pressings have a "delta" (▽) in each runout matrix of the four sides. This version has two "slashes" (//) in the runout matrix of the four sides, and TML-M stamped.

Issued in a wide-spine gatefold cover with 44-page black and white booklet.
