Ltd, trading as Renaissance Music. Different label with pink rim and palm Island, without the usual text on the rim regarding copyright warnings. See image. This is probably from the same UK batch of the early seventies reissue. It can be traced back to be bought in 1974 in The Netherlands. However there is no information on the album where it is made. Although it has exactly the same matrix runout codes as the UK version. And the original inner sleeve reads "Made in Great Britain". The mastering credits are from a different source and are not found on the album. Only the mentioning of "Pecko" in the matrix-runout code.”

Finally, a review of Renaissance UK Pink Island cassette release can be found at "Musicassette Review" section in Tape Recording Magazine, September 1970 (pag. 300).
