Comment by PhilMH:
Image 3205873, the front-page ad from Billboard dated February 24th 1973, actually says "Album available March
1", which was a Thursday; both March 3 and March 10 were Saturdays, and nothing was ever released on that day of the week. Billboard's cover date was always a Saturday, and Billboard's date doesn't correlate to a release date.
