Media Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)
Sleeve Condition: Very Good Plus (VG+)

Notes:

"A UNICORN recording, released for its members in Australia by World Record Club."

Australian WRC 1st pressing, sourced from original stampers and featuring unique sleeve art. "R-02400" on sleeve, "R-02400" on labels. Not issued on cassette, this one was reissued many times, with the same sleeve design in different colours - the October 1977 and March 1978 issues are no doubt in different coloured sleeves, but there are at least three more after that, with the word "stereo" absent from bottom-left of the labels, in the post-1978 style. This one is in light royal blue, and has the pre-1977 laminate strip present down the right side of the rear of the sleeve.

This seems to be the first appearance of the ꞌbland-styleꞌ design (a two-tone picture within a rectangular coloured border, with text above and the WRC logo at the top in the centre) - a style which dominated the label's releases for a time, the last known one being R-03897, from December 1977 (not counting the plethora of reissues of many albums in different colours). Now instantly recognisable as belonging to the label, but a shadow of the creativity shown in releases from the 1960s, like the "TE" series. It was prefigured in the Retrospect Series, when sepia tones were used, in the early 1970s.
