First issue sleeve with a circular die-cut in sleeve, revealing rotating 'clockwork' card insert through which the band members be viewed on a full-color backing sheet. Uncensored images of a nude girl on the inside and back of the gatefold and under the clock insert. (An added "bikini bottom" was used to censor these images on the second US version of this album, cat suffix 'X').
Labels: Track timings on labels differ to those on inside sleeve. On the labels the side indications are 'Side 1' and 'Side 2'. First catalog number on spine and cover, second on label.
"Manufactured by" information is taken from label rim-text but there are no known pressing-plant marks on this version of the release. An otherwise identical version exists with 'TƧM' added to the runouts (The Soft Machine) indicating disks pressed at True Sound Manufacturing Corp..
Plated at Longwear Plating.
"Mfg. by Grand Award Record Co., Inc., a subsidiary of ABC Records Inc. 1330 Avenue of the Americas, New York, N.Y. 10019".
'Command/Probe' appears on the spine while the labels and front cover show 'Command/ABC Records/Probe.'
"...Selections published by Amm Jay Music Inc. - BMI".
NOTES:
Kevin Ayers is credited with "Lead Guitar", but actually mostly plays Bass Guitar on this release.
