“Label lists the artist as ‘Paul Butterfield Blues Band’, instead of ‘Butterfield Blues Band’ as on other versions. It is the mono "sibling" of the similar stereo pressing [r29412271]. Apart from the "EKL 315A" and "EKL 315B" etchings, the remaining matrix information is extremely faint but can be seen if examined carefully. Beneath track listing is ‘Recording first published August 1966’. Cover has ‘Printed in U.S.A. in bottom right corner of back cover.”

“Eighth Elektra label (1970 - 1979): The standard design for the 1970s was the familiar butterfly label. There have been many variations of this label over the decade, most notably the inclusion of the Warner Bros. reference and 'w' logo to the bottom rim text. There are many variations of this label and here, it has "Side One EKS-7315-A Stereo" in one line on the left, and thin full crescent text on the bottom, apparently just like [r=24736547], whereas that version has a different matrix. Runout info is etched, apart from "S 7315 1D" on A which is stamped.”
