Comments and Reviews

thewillismon 31st Oct 2024		Track A1
annaloog ● 25th Sep 2024		Thanks, TheDroid, that would appear to explain the situation.
TheDroid 23rd Sep 2024		annaloog: For what it's worth, according to Wikipedia "By the end of the Chicago Transit Authority sessions, the band had decided they wanted it to be a double album. Skeptical, as the band had no track record, Columbia agreed to the concept only if the group would take a royalty cut.". They were quite productive, as in addition to the album, at least six other songs were done during the sessions including "Wake Up Sunshine".
annaloog ● 22nd Sep 2024		Had this originally been planned as two single disk albums? I note the disparity between the two disk numbers, CS 9809 and CS 9836, and the two sets of matrix numbers.
A.L. Albiatis 22nd Sep 2023		My copy has "demonstration not for sale" is gold lettering in the top left corner and also has PG8 on the back
leonard ● 15th Dec 2017		Added images of front and back sleeve with cat PG 8 instead of GP 8. Labels look identical to those submitted by TheDroid
W.B.lbl 17th Aug 2017		Have shuffled the labels around based on design and typesetting: - {Images #1427444, 1427445, 1427446 & 1427447} - 2-eye - {Images #1422407, 1422408, 1422411 & 1422412} - newer design w/ original type as 2-eye - {Images #761558, 761563, 761566 & 761576} - newer design w/ later typesetting
Bgray1 ● 16th Aug 2017		Added original label set
nicoldo64 29th Oct 2015		Cover scans added
TheDroid 30th May 2015		Added missing label images and also sticker from LP.
