Notes

Los Angeles early pressing includes the longer version of "Six O'Clock" with extended fade-out.

The long version (5:26) of "Six O'Clock" was only issued on vinyl pressings in very limited quantity, that were distributed October 1973 as promo copies before the album was re-mastered with the edited version, before official release. This can only be identified by matrix and visual-aural confirmation as the widest track on side 2. (However, the long version IS on original cassette and 8-track pressings.)

All Apple label pressings of this have the incorrect title of track A2 "Hold On".

Issued with stock labels and jacket. Promo punch hole.
