Item Description

Vinyl, , Gatefold Die-cut, Uncensored
LP Album

1st issue Cover:
Front cover: Circular cut-out in sleeve, revealing rotating 'clockwork image' card insert- through which the band members can be viewed on a further inserted full-color backing sheet.

Inside:
Uncensored image of nude girl (A bikini was used to censor a US version of this album, cat suffix 'X'). Non-gatefold issues also exist.
The words "...Kevin Ayres of Berne Bay,..." are wrongly attributed to Kevin Ayers & Herne Bay in the text, as is a reference to Wyatt's mentor - George Neidorf - as "Neidori". Shaw, in the idiosyncratic sleeve notes, continually refers to the band as "The" Soft Machine.

"...Selections published by Amm Jay Music Inc. - BMI".
"Mfg. by Grand Award Record Co., Inc., a subsidiary of ABC Records Inc. 1330 Avenue of the Americas, New York, N.Y. 10019".

Track timings on labels differ to those on inside sleeve.

First cat.nr. on spine and cover, second on label.

On the spine the caption ''Command/Probe'' appears, on the label it's ''Command/ABC Records/Probe.''

Labels indicate sides as "Side I" & "Side II" (later copies were 1 & 2, with cat#s suffixed A & B)

Pressed by [l264380].
