Label variant, with "SET" in all capital letters.

Gatefold cover with 44-page black-and-white booklet affixed inside gatefold.

The first issues were printed by Euro-Albums Holland B.V. and have a soft, almost pastel grey finish whereas later issues look "blacker."

On the spine of the outer cover, the first issues have the group name, album name, "Track Deluxe Double" and set number, which is 2657 013.

Very first pressings have a "delta" (▽) in each runout matrix of the four sides. Subsequent pressings have usually two "slashes" (//) in one (or two) of the runout matrix of the four sides.

First issue early pressings have predominantly "1" or "2" matrices and "1" or low-number stampers in the vinyl runoff area of each side (e.g., record 1 side A: 2406110 A ▽ 1).

Runouts are stamped, "S2-MCA 362" is etched.

Recorded at "The Kitchen" in Thessally Road, Battersea, while building was still in progress.
Ronnie "Lane's Mobile Sound" served as control room while ours was being finished.
Mixed at Eel Pie Sound.
