Label: Atlantic

Original 1971 Japanese first pressing with gatefold sleeve, insert, and obi.

This release includes the following:
(1) ¥2,000 printed on obi front, obi back (inside gatefold), and on the lower right corner on the back of the sleeve.
(2) The Warner Bros.-Pioneer Corporation company text credited in the disc label rim text and inside gatefold; not to be confused with its successor company Warner-Pioneer Corporation established in April 1972.
(3) Company inner sleeve advertising the "Rock Age" campaign which includes the front cover artwork from this release.

There are three obi variants for this release:
(1) Black obi (also included with blue-label promo).
(2) Black obi (same as above), with affixed "Rock Age" campaign gimmick sticker.
(3) Green obi, custom "Rock Age" campaign gimmick obi (also known as the "Flower" obi).

Some copies of this first pressing had a foil ¥2,300 sticker placed over the original printed ¥2,000 price on the obi front, presumably in order to sell the remaining first pressings at the same price as the ¥2,300 second pressing.

The second pressing, issued in 1972, has ¥2,300 printed in the three price locations and Warner-Pioneer Corporation company text credited on disc labels and inside gatefold.

The "Limited Edition" 1974 reissue pressing has a standard, non-gatefold sleeve, with a ¥1,500 price.
