by Sylvester Stewart.
Engineers: Don Puluse, Brian Ross-Myring, Phil Macey A quadrophonic version of this album was released that contained different mixes of the same songs; some are longer, some are shorter, some feature different vocals and instrument tracks. It also looks as though Epic/Legacy has re-released this album on vinyl though I'm not sure when and why. |
