Track timing for A2 (Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed) is incorrect. Timing shows original time for this track combined with the following 'hidden' track (Don't Sit Down) as it appears on the master tape. Don't Sit Down was removed prior to release seemingly after labels were prepared. Actual time is approx 6:09. Of the first issues on Philips and Mercury, Don't Sit Down was removed from the Mercury North American releases only, while all Philips issues contain the track.
