"S-5753" and "S-5754". A reel-to-reel, ST 01869,was advertised in the 1976 Sale Catalogue for discontinued stock, indicating an earlier reissue.

The LP2 sleeve is unchanged: purple border on front, laminate strip present, not cat. # on back. Runouts unchanged. Issued again in June 1978, in green sleeves and featruing the new R- numbers on the labels. World Record Club: Registered Office - 605 Camberwell Road, Hartwell, Victoria, 3124.
