From www.paulgriggs.com
"In April 1971 we had our final change in personel, Malcolm Green our drummer was replaced by Tim Reeves and in the same month our first album was released on "Penny Farthing Records". It sold well in the areas we performed in and Larry Page did a good job in the promotion of the record. Today (2002) the album is a collectors item and is currently listed in catalogues as being worth between 150 to 200 pounds for an original copy in reasonable condition." - Paul Griggs

robozuc 26th Aug 2020		Thanks Gian_paolo for having pointed out this detail, honestly I hadn't noticed it, I searched the web and found this information: Both are original UK issues with identical matrix information: POLS 508 1Y//2 ?420 & 2Y//2 ?420, the only difference being the layout of the track listing on the labels. Same gatefold sleeve. Copy one (more centred track listing) track A2 "Summer", track A5 "Thief ". Copy two (more spaced out track listing) track A2 "Was So Young", track A5 "Orchard Bloom". Probably, as you say, a misprinted first issue. But I don't know what tracks were on the side 1 of the vinyl.



Gian_paolo 25th Aug 2020		I see the A side label shows two different tracks A2 and A5, these tracks were compiled on CD only in 2006. Probably a misprinted first issue.
