Notes:

Australian WRC 2nd pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. Flipback sleeve. Mono and stereo versions have same number on back of sleeve (8029) - the mono version has "8029" on its labels, while the stereo has "S-8029" on WRC green 'strobe' labels. There is a printed "stereo" rosette on the back, and the mono has a red sticker with "mono" placed over this (though these tend to drop off with age). No mention of the Light Music Club on the stereo version. The 2nd pressing is identifiable by the back of the sleeve: new addresses, no "World Record International", and a stereo rosette at top right.

Reissued as a 'dividend' release, offered at a low price ($1.80 vs the regular $3.75) for club members who had bought one LP or more in the previous 12 months.
