Early stereo pressing variant. First version, containing several edited bits, not heard on later versions (see Master Release).

Navy blue labels with silver print and 1.5" diameter press ring.

The typesetting layout used on the labels is slightly different from the other similar versions: "The Mothers Of Invention" appears on one line. Track numbering for B8 is a bit to the left of numbers B1 through B7 which are all in a straight vertical line.

There are no separation bands in between tracks, so both sides look like they only have one very long track.

Initially came with an ''only money cut-outs'' insert
