Monarch Record Mfg. Co. - Denoted by "MR" within a circle stamped in the runout matrix/dead wax, and by an "MO" suffix to the label matrices.

This repressing has a yellow ATCO label with 2.875 (2 ⅞) inch press ring, similar to this Monarch pressing of High Voltage which also has a 2.875 inch press ring. This version is identifiable as a repress because of the the Vanda & Young producer credit on the labels, as well as the "℗ 1976 J. Albert & Sons (Pty) Ltd" copyright credit (not seen on the 1976 original US versions).

The layout and credits on this label are similar to an even later Monarch repress of High Voltage, but this version has the wider press ring as noted above.

This issue comes with the later plain brown Atlantic Group inner sleeve common from 1977 through the early 80s

Most editions of the International album have a version of "It's a Long Way to the Top" that is shorter than the original Australian album version. The full length version is 5:10, while the edited version shortens the last chorus causing the track to fade out early making this release the shorter version..
