Release notes
Recorded at Trident Studios, London, 11th to 14th December 1969. ℗ 1970.
Released in a gatefold cover.
Includes a double sided poster.
First cat.nr. on cover, second on label.
The quote in "After the Flood" was from Albert Einstein.
There are 2 completely different mixes of this, the first of which was withdrawn soon after release. They are discernable only by scrutinizing the run-out groove.
The first ''withdrawn'' mix has no "G" in the run-out, the ''remix'' has a ''G'' there.
This submission: second mix with ''G'' in runout.
The withdrawn mix is [r=868229].
Record grading guide
Every record is graded visually (and play-tested when in doubt) using the Goldmine standard — the same scale used by Discogs sellers worldwide. Media and sleeve are always graded separately.
| M | Mint — perfect, usually still sealed. We use this grade very rarely. |
|---|---|
| NM | Near Mint — looks barely played. No visible marks, plays clean. |
| VG+ | Very Good Plus — light signs of use, minor sleeve wear. Plays great; our most common grade. |
| VG | Very Good — visible wear, may have light surface noise that doesn't overpower the music. |
| G+ / G | Good — plays through without skipping but with noticeable noise. Priced accordingly. |
| F / P | Fair / Poor — filler or collector copies only. Always described in the notes. |
Anything worth mentioning that the grade doesn't capture is in the seller notes on each listing.
