Notes

Distinguishing features of this submission:
Label variant without the "All Rights Reserved" extended rim text.
Shorter rim text is an older text, in use 1971-1975.
Often without (r) next to UA logo, but that feature is present here.
Original release date confirmed by BSN pubs, 1975

Pressed by Research Craft, Los Angeles, CA, United Artist's own west coast pressing plant in the 1970s.
Pressing is identified by the mirrored, etched #53 and #86 as well as the RE1 suffix in the deadwax.
The only anomaly is that the pressing rings are 1 1/16"

Some copies came with a 4-color poster (~23"x20").
