Although the Capitol logo appears on the back of the sleeve, the LP was pressed from UK-supplied tapes and appears on the Parlophone imprint (black labels as the ubiquitous orange labels were retired a mere month before). Thus 'I Should Have Known Better' is the standard 1964 stereo version, rather than the 1982 US version with the "fixed" harmonica intro.
The album included a US-printed and imported 12 page "Souvenir Program" booklet but did not include a unique inner sleeve. Front covers had a sticker affixed stating "Includes 12 PAGE FULL COLOUR BOOKLET" along with the catalogue number.
Mouseover the above sleeve image to see the inner gatefold.
The album spent 5 weeks on the charts, reaching #56.
By all accounts the album was deleted from catalogue within a few years, hence no copies exist with 1987+ EMI MUSIC GROUP - AUSTRALASIA labels.
Mastered at Studios 301 by Otto Ruiter utilising the Maxicut process.
