    In November 1967, Pye Records switched from the pink label to the blue label. There are copies of this LP with the blue labels which are considered the second pressing. I have one and it sounds wonderful!

    UPDATE Feb 2022: Someone entered the release with blue labels on Discogs: Donovan - Sunshine Superman
