Notes
Repressing with corrected cover: track A4 is properly credited on the cover and in the gatefold as "Sunshine And Love" (early covers incorrectly read “Cosmic Energy”).Label Variation: "Dist. Nationally by P.I.P. Records" is NOT set in semi-circular white text along the bottom rim of the label, but instead is part of the text block beneath the song titles.
Recorded at: Media Sound Studio, 311 West 57th St, N.Y.C.
Mixing at: Record Plant, L.A.
