IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE:- that copies with the Head Hunters inner sleeve (see: [r7633337]) are re-pressings. Mainly for 2 reasons. Firstly the Head Hunters inner features LPs released 1 month later than this LP. And secondly this LP is already listed as 'available' on the inner - which means that this LP was already released when this Head Hunters inner sleeve was concieved. Therefore any copies with the Head Hunters inner sleeve will date from late September/October 1971 - at least 1 or 2 months after the release date. This inner DEFINITELY DID NOT EXIST at the time of this LPs release.
