Issues/Versions:
Original Vinyl Information:
MCA-5169, MCA Records. No gatefold. The record sleeve itself, however, opens like an envelope and features a lot of art work and copious liner notes. Custom disc label. Imports have the blue with rainbow MCA label with a custom sleeve and insert that are identical to the fold open sleeve on the American versions.
Re-issued Vinyl Information:
MCA-5169 ( stamped as “Platinum Plus 37177”), MCA Records. Same album jacket, but the record sleeve does not open like an envelope, as in the above version. MCA eliminated most of the art work featured on the earlier sleeve, and crammed the lyrics and liner notes on a standard record sleeve for this release. Custom label.

MCAD-31092, MCA Records. No liner notes or pictures.
Two-on-One CD Information:
