Notes
This stereo release, on red "Buddah" labels, followed shortly after the mono release.
The vinyl is contained in a 2-sided black & white half-tone photo-montage liner, of band , session artists, engineers & producer.
One side reads "May The Baby Jesus Open Your Mind And Shut Your Mouth", the back reads "Caution: Electricity May Be Hazardous To Health".
(Not all of the personnel shown on the liner are credited).
A 380mm x 100mm 'bumper sticker' (with "Safe As Milk" text and a cutout baby's head color image) was folded into cover. This sticker was produced in a limited quantity, as were the montage liners.
(This release also exists, as another version, in a mono sleeve with a 'stereo' over-sticker obscuring the 'Mono' print. This was issued prior to the printing of a stereo sleeve. Later, there was a further version - with the stereo cover shown, but without a montage-image liner on expiration of printed stock.).
Reports suggest Richard Perry played the Harpsichord on "Call On Me".
Label variant: Differs from Safe As Milk in the following ways:
-Artist name on 1 line instead of 2
-Side 1 & Side 2 on left side, instead Side One & Side Two
-Stereo above cat # & matrix # on right side
-Track titles left justified, instead of centered
Matrix Variant: Same stereo cover, "Baby Jesus" montage inner sleeve, and red label with two lines for artist and title and centered track listings with matrix runout variants as indicated. There does not appear to be another sub with the matrix variant as listed on a red label. See however: Captain Beefheart And The Magic Band - Safe As Milk which includes a mono sleeve stickered as "Stereo," a kaleidoscope label and matrix runouts to match the variation.
