The original mono album had been deleted from catalogue since September 1970. RCA updated the iconic front sleeve with a publicity shot from the 1968 TV Special, the rear also used a live shot from the same TV show. The tracks unfortunately were not issued in mono, but in "electronic stereo".

NOTE: This LP was issued using the matrix number A2PY. A = 1971      2 = Older Material       

PY = Electronic Stereo LP

Side 1: A2PY 9783     Side 2: A2PY 9784

This album was kept in stock by issuing re-pressings with the same catalogue number. It was later assigned a new number when released on the International Label in September 1981.
