frankheussner 31st Aug 2022		Added another variant. Looks like my cover is first printing, record has publishing changed on Tim Hardin's song, but Almo still listed for Carpenters'.



TheDroid 16th May 2015		Added a fourth label variant, this one a first pressing from Monarch Records, Los Angeles, CA. Monarch deltas are: Side One Δ15109. Side Two Δ15109-X.



nicoldo64 20th Dec 2014		Alternative later pressings label scans added.
