Notes

Glossy gatefold cover with glossy close-cut banana sticker - the excess margin is trimmed away.
Airbrushed Emerson. (An otherwise identical Shelley pressing exists with a printed banana: The Velvet Underground & Nico.)

This version has an unusually small blue/silver "T" label, measuring 3.875" diameter.
Labels giving "SIDE 1" and "SIDE 2” instead of "Side A" and "Side B."
Publishing credits: all songs "Oakfield Avenue Music", except I'm Waiting For The Man "Three Prong Music", "All Selections BMI"
"MGM RECORDS - A DIVISION OF METRO-GOLDWYN-MAYER, INC. - Made in U.S.A."

East Coast pressing with West Coast Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood address on label.

Block-shaped 'S' engraved in the deadwax. The “S”mark engraved in the deadwax indicates this record was pressed by Shelley Products, Ltd., Huntington Station, NY, which began pressing for MGM upon PolyGram's acquisition of the label in 1972.

The runouts are etched, [15 block-shaped "S"], side A, and [3 block-shaped “S”], side B, are stamped.
