This version of the picture disc has no model aircraft noise at the end of side 2. For the version with it, please see this. This picture disc appears to use the same stereo remix that appears in the Boxed compilation, but with the original version of the Sailor's Hornpipe rather than the Viv Stanshall version that appears in Boxed.

Recorded at The Manor, Autumn 1972 - Spring 1973.
℗ 1973 Virgin Records.
