NOTE

You can learn about the history of this album from the text on the page of its British version Apple Records (PCS 7169).

In the USA, the album was pressed at factories in Jacksonville, Los Angeles and Winchester. The Jacksonville labels came in two variations (the second variations has a large print of the number of side). The Winchester labels had the same design as the second Jacksonville version. And the Los Angeles labels same repeated the design of the second version of Jacksonville and Winchester labels, but were much lighter.

May Pang writes in her book of memories that this album was published in America in a total circulation of 350 000 copies.

Some Winchester factory copies come with "2E For Export Only" sticker on the back side of cover. [See Pic. 1].

ПРИМЕЧАНИЕ

Об истории создания данного альбома можно узнать из содержания текста на странице его Британской версии Apple Records (PCS 7169).

В США альбом изготовлялся на фабриках Джексонвилл, Лос-Анджелеса и Винчестера. Этикетки фабрики Джексонвилл были двух разновидностей (на втором варианте номер стороны напечатан крупным шрифтом). Этикетки фабрики Винчестера имели такой самый дизайн, как у второй версии Джексонвилл. А этикетки фабрики Лос-Анджелеса тоже повторяли дизайн второй версии фабрики Джексонвилл и Винчестера, но только были гораздо светлее.

Мэй Пэнг в своей книге воспоминаний пишет, что этот альбом был издан в Америке общим тиражом 350 000 экземпляров.

Некоторые экземпляры фабрики Винчестер поставлялись с наклейкой "2E For Export Only" на конверте с обратной стороны обложки. [см. рис. 1].
