Notes

1st UK press on the Vertigo " large Swirl " label, with the large swirl above the spindle hole and the wording Vertigo below.

No track timing credits appear on labels or sleeve.

Cat# 6360 500 appears on labels
Cat# 6360 500 appears on spine and top right rear of sleeve above VO Price Code

Released in a Textured gatefold sleeve, with 2 internal glue-tabs top and bottom to right-hand wallet. Left hand wallet glued closed.
A-Side label simply a Vertigo logo with "Side A"
B-Side label has no writer or publisher credits.
'Vertigo'-printed black (front and back) on a white paper liner, with punch-holes & poly-lined. Liner coded, on front bottom-left, with print date: "Made in England B 1/0470" [Apr1970]

Inside credit list includes: "Mac not available due to bus strike" [Which indicates 'Faces' musician Ian McLagan (keyboards) was not present at recording. However, US release credits him and the track upon which he is credited there is "You're My Girl"- prefixed to "I Don't Want To Discuss It" on this album. This suggests McLagan was dubbed, or the track added later].

Waller & Quittenton are mentioned as present in sleeve notes, but not credited - as per US release. [All uncredited musicians thus taken from the US release].

A2 is only credited to "Womack", although two Womacks wrote the song.

"A Mercury Records Production" inside-left and back cover.

Our grading in condition section above.

Records graded to Record Collector guidelines, visually unless mentioned.

Mint (M)

The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet. booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records marked as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.

Excellent (EX)

The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

Very Good (VG)

The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects is acceptable

Good (G)

The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc

Fair (F)

The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or defaced.

Poor (P)

The record will not play properly due to scratched, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing

Bad (B)

The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection-filler

CD’s and CASSETTES

As a general rule CD’s and Cassettes either play perfectly – in which case they are in Mint condition – or they don’t, in which case their value is minimal. Cassette tape is liable to deteriorate with age, even if it remains unplayed, so care should be taken when buying old tapes. CD’s are difficult to grade visually; they can look perfect but actually be faulty, while in other cases they may appear damaged but still play perfectly. Cassette and CD inlays and booklets should be graded in the same way as record covers and sleeves. In general, the plastic containers for cassettes and CDs can easily be replaced if they are broken or scratched, but card covers and digipaks are subject to the same wear as record sleeves.
