First pressings of this album on vinyl had turquoise labels in mono only. Second pressings had the Capitol dome logo on the left side in both mono (Capitol T-914) and stereo (Capitol ST-914). Original Capitol stereo issues had the vocals out-of-phase, so playing them in mono caused the vocals to disappear.[5]
