Members of this board were very helpful when I posted the first set of sleevenotes here (covering 62-64). We are now working on Volume Two and below are the sleeve notes to cover 64-67.

Can someone tell me how to distinguish between an original copy and subsequent re-releases ? My copy has Dark Blue London labels and is coded on the sleeve as RSD-1 Stereo. The label on Side 1 of the record carries the code ZAL 9241 and Side 2 is
