THE GRAMOPHONE COMPANY EDGE TEXT ON THE HARVEST LABEL AND, AS
MANY PEOPLE WILL ALREADY KNOW - THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP
HAD A SOLID BLUE TRIANGLE - AND THIS WAS CHANGED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY
AFTER RELEASE TO MATCH THE COVER . NOT ONLY THAT BUT THE GRAMOPHONE
COMPANY EDGE TEXT WAS CHANGED AT ALMOST THE SAME TIME - AND DROPPED IN
FAVOUR OF EMI RECORDS TEXT THAT FOLLOWED ON ALL LATER
