Issues/Versions:
Original Vinyl Information:
MCA-5730, MCA Records. No gatefold. Lyrics and photo on sleeve.
Original CD Information:
MCAD-5730 JVC-515, MCA Records. Contains a fold-out insert, rather than a booklet. Although a step up from the “Compact Price” series, MCA’s catalogue art direction job here is still sloppy, seeing that they “forgot” all the liner notes (sans the core band credits that are also printed on the back cover) printed on the inner sleeve.

“I have loved many lands…and love them well, Changing, chameleon fashion, to the spell of each land’s colors; rhythming my heart to each land’s song; striving to be a part.”
– From The Poem “To Florida” from the book, “Floridays” by Don Blanding
