PLEASE NOTE - IN ADDITION TO ALL THE OTHER 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS DETAILS GIVEN IN THE DESCRIPTION - 1 OTHER VERY IMPORTANT DETAIL WHICH MAKES THIS LP ONE OF THE FIRST 500 COPIES EVER MADE - IS THAT THE BACK COVER TITLE IS MISPRINTED 'IF I HAD TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN' INSTEAD OF THE CORRECT 'I COULD DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN' (SEE PICTURES).  QUITE LITERALLY ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE MADE WITH THIS 'INCORRECT TITLE' ON THE COVER BACK - AND IT WAS CHANGED IMMEDIATELY!
