Issues/Versions:

Original Vinyl Information:

AB-990, ABC Records. Embossed album cover with gatefold featuring many photos. Band credits on back cover. Lyrics and additional notes on sleeve. Orange ABC Records label.

Re-issued Vinyl Information:

MCA-37150, MCA Records. Gatefold eliminated and a plain white sleeve takes the place of the creative lyric sheet found on the first pressing. Credits and notes on back cover remain. This reissue contains an extra track not credited on the label. This is a short acoustic reprise of the song “Changes in
Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes.” This album can be distinguished because it does not have a gatefold cover. Also, original copies have the N, NE, E, SE, S, SW, W, NW symbols from the compass on the cover embossed in the cardboard, the reissue has them printed in ink. This short, extra track makes CILCIA the only MCA vinyl reissue sought out by collectors.

I would like to thank Mike Wheeler, Phil Massey, Rick Holcomb, Clint Gilbert & Steve Vaughn who take care of the Day-to-Day work which enables us to work with ease. Cindy Johnson and Jeri Jenkins of Home at last in Miami for Food & Shelter. Don Light & Herb Belkin; Frank Mulvey for a great cover design. Stan Goldsten, and the people at Mauua. And to everyone who enjoys listening to my music as much as I enjoy playing it. I guess that covers it till next time.
