Label variation: "Mfd. by Apple Records, Inc." in the rim print of the b-side. See Badfinger - Magic Christian Music for another variation with the Capitol logo in the rim print and Magic Christian Music with label print variation. 

From the sleeve: 
"Badfinger" are four - Tom playing bass and Joey playing guitar, both from Liverpool, Pete on lead guitar with Mike on drums both of them born in Swansea, South Wales. 
"Badfinger" are very close to each other, living together, their life is playing together. On this album featuring the three numbers they recorded for "The Magic Christian" film soundtrack, they offer you themselves and their music, so listen as I have done, enjoy it - and feel close to "Badfinger".
