Notes

The first pressing had a different sleeve than the second one. The first, very rare pressing had rats (referring to the titlesong "Ben") on the sleeve, but later there was decided that it might be too scaring for young kids. Therefore, there came a new sleeve, that became the standard for all other pressings. The two different sleeves had the same catalogue number.
