• SMAS-11163: This is the standard U.S. catalog number for the album under the Harvest/Capitol labels.
• F55: This code indicates the lacquer number used for this specific pressing. Higher "F" numbers (like F50 or F55) signify later masterings compared to early 1973 first pressings (typically F1 through F4).
• #11: This number typically refers to the mother number, indicating which generation of metal part was used to produce the stampers for this specific record.
• MASTERED BY CAPITOL: This stamp confirms the record was mastered at Capitol Records' own facilities. This insignia was standard for reissues after 1975 and is often found on copies with the rim text on the label starting at 10 o'clock rather than 8 o'clock. 

• No Barcode: 1970s pressings like this one generally lack a barcode on the back cover.
• Harvest Labels: The record likely features the classic black Harvest label with a blue-outline prism. Solid blue prisms are exclusive to very early UK first pressings.
