Notes:-

The removal of " Poor Will And The Jolly Hangman" from the LP was done at such a late stage that the first LP sleeves had already been printed with " Poor Will" shown on the track listing. Most of the first LP issues then had a black block printed over the original list with the revised track listing overprinted in gold. However a few of the first issue escaped without the overprinting and just showed the incorrect track listing needless to say these are fairly uncommon. All subsequent printings had the corrected track listing despite the fact that the sleeve notes still referred to the missing track. Very recently a copy of the album has been found that has 'Poor Will' shown on the pink label, previously it had not been thought that the track had ever reached that stage of production.

Notes:-

A further recording session took place on 15 May 1970 in Studio A of Gold Star Studios in Hollywood where the band recorded versions of Dirty Linen, Sir Patrick Spens, Walk Awhile and 'The Bonny Bunch of Roses' but none of these were used at the time. The last of the four was finally released in 1999 on the 2-CD set " Meet On The Ledge : The Classic Years (1967-1975) (Island 564687-2) but the others remained unissued.
