Notes

This release has the heavy brown cardboard cover with a glued back flap attached to rear paper panel characteristic of 1968 US pressings. Labels are a silver gloss paper with a blue "Tetragrammaton" logo, and thick black lettering. The labels have a rough and splotchy texture. Dead wax has "T-107-Side 1" and "T-107-Side 2".

This release differs from releases r1314878 and r5503318 in that there seems to be no mention of "DCT" anywhere in the dead wax.

Rear cover shows a "4" at bottom right.
