Final Collection Copy of 1970 MISPRINTED 12-TRACK PRESSING WITH EXTRA SONGS AND ALTERNATE VERSIONS & MIXES. If you don’t know about this “rejected” November, 1970 pressing, check out the annotated track listing below. Turns out Ampex used the WRONG tapes for the second pressing five months later due to demand but decided to let them go and not tell anyone. That is, until word got out to Rundgren fans about this rare collectable (FYI it’s only on Ampex, and not the more common pressing on Bearsville). 
12-TRACK MISPRESSED VINYL RELEASE IN NOVEMBER, 1970

Upon its release in June 1970 the album was issued with 10 tracks. After "We Gotta Get You a Woman" became a hit single, Ampex decided to press more copies of the LP in November 1970 to keep up with demand. A rejected 12-track master of the LP was accidentally sent to the pressing plant resulting in approximately 5,000 mis-presses. Instead of throwing out the LPs, Ampex decided to sell them anyway, unmarked, as a sort of surprise to the purchaser. This album as well as Runt: The Ballad of Todd Rundgren were issued in 1971 on the Bearsville label, being distributed by Ampex at the time. In mid-1971 Bearsville was purchased by Warner Bros. distribution, and plans were made to re-release each album as Runt with catalog number BV 2046 and Ballad as BV 2047. These were never pressed. Later in 1973 Warner Bros wanted Bearsville to re-release both albums as a "twin pack" entitled Todd Rundgren's Rack Job (Catalog number 2BV 2156). The album got as far as test presses and album art but was shelved, as Rundgren wanted to release an album of new material instead. (from Wikipedia)
