Notes

Gatefold cover with banana sticker. Third pressing with airbrushed Emerson torso image on the back cover.

MGM Record Manufacturing Division, Bloomfield, New Jersey pressing identified by the "block-shaped 'S'" stamped in the runouts, and also by the label typesetting.

Labels for this version have a 1.25" diameter pressing ring. (An otherwise very similar version, The Velvet Underground & Nico, has a larger 2.75 pressing ring.)
- "Side 1" and "Side 2" instead of "Side A" and "Side B".
- Song credits for 'European Son' are shown as "Reed - Cale - Morrison - Tucker" instead of "L. Reed - J. Cale - S. Morrison - M. Tucker".
- "Three Prong Music. All Selections BMI" instead "All Selections Three Prong Music, Inc. BMI"
