Notes
Capitol Jacksonville pressing with slight label variations, including different concentric rings, from this Winchester pressing.
Designed for continual play on autochanger phonographs (record 1: sides A/D, record 2: sides B/C).
Gatefold sleeve.
First catalog number on spine and labels, second on front and inside sleeve and on spine.
The music on this album was recorded over a period of about 5 months from October 1967 to February 1968.
Recorded at Apostolic Studios in New York and engineered by Richard Kunc.
Special engineering credits go to Jerry Hansen for the percussion effects added later at Sunset Sound in L.A., and to our friend Mike in Copenhagen for the tapes he sent us.
Track B4 title is misspelt "Electric Aunt Jemina" on the tracklist on both sleeve and labels.
The correct title is given in the lyrics section of the sleeve.

Edited 3 months agoBy far, this is the best sounding record I have over all my remasters and heavyweight vinyl. I can’t imagine how much better a special edition would sound over this. Despite how annoying it is to have side I and IV on disc 1 and sides II and III on disc 2, it was still well worth the $33.33 I paid for it!
