Other info:
Artist name given as 'Manfred Mann's Earthband' on spine.
Some copies may carry a sticker 'Including Live Version Of »Mighty Quinn«'.
Misprint: Track A2 is credited to "Chris/Slade/Flett/Mann" on the label which is a mistake, as the first and last name of author Chris Slade are mentioned both as separate author names. Credits on the cover are correct.

All runouts are stamped, except:
- The crossed out 'Made in ' in runout variant 3 (side A 5 x "X", side B 4 x "X") is hardly readable. You need a very good light; ending numbers "047" on both sides are etched.
- The Roman numerals at the end are etched

Runout variant 9: .../77S was overstamped to ..../78S at both sides.
