Notes
There are 2 variants of the original U.S. pressing. On this version, track A4's crediting on the label states, "(J. Duncan - B. Ray) Popcorn/Cord/Waljo Music (BMI)" (see images). Conversely, the other original U.S. pressing's (see here: Dragonfly (8) - Dragonfly) credits for track A4 state only, "(J. Duncan - B. Ray)" They are otherwise identical. Font, spacing typeset, label layout, etc. are entirely the same on both. The Unipak sleeves on both are identical.Both original U.S. variants were pressed at RCA Records Pressing Plant, Hollywood, as indicated by the "H" in the matrices.
Gatefold sleeve with unipak style. Sealed copies had a sticker (see scan)
