Notes

Recorded and Mixed at A&R Recording, Inc. New York, N.Y.

B6 is unlisted on cover and jacket - it is titled "The Stranger (Reprise)" on reissues but is present on this pressing.

This pressing has a stamped "P" in the runout on side A, which may indicate Pittman pressing. It notably lacks both STERLING and MASTERDISK stamps found on other releases.
