The initial 1969 Probe label design was black with silver lettering but this changed to a pink label design for its rock releases. The label change occured during the pressing of Soft Machine Volume Two so that the majority of first pressings had silver & black labels whereas a minority featured the newer pink Probe labels.
Michael Rateledge - hammond organ, harpsichord, piano, flute
Hugh Hopper - bass guitar, acoustic guitar, alto saxophone
Robert Wyatt - drums, vocals
Brian Hopper – soprano and tenor saxophone
