Notes

Original first European release with a misprinted tracklist on back cover with only 6 tracks.
The back cover lists mistakenly 'Jungle Book' as third track for the A side, while it is in fact the last track on the B side.
'Cucumber Slumber' isn't listed at all.
For the issue with 7 tracks on sleeve back, see Weather Report - Mysterious Traveller.

Inner sleeve with credits.
This release of the album has a difference of tracklist between back cover and inner sleeve :
- on back cover 7 tracks (Cucumber Slumber on A3 & Jungle Book on B4). This order match with labels & pressing
- on inner sleeve 6 tracks (Cucumber Slumber is not listed & Jungle Book in A3)

ALL inner sleeves seem to have that wrong tracklist.

These seem to be from the first run of US copies > Weather Report - Mysterious Traveller where this mistake was present as well.
That was corrected on subsequent copies. But it never happened for the inner sleeve.
