A USA "Specialty" pressing, from Specialty Records
There is a certain highly defined sound to this Specialty Records pressing, and there is a type of American country music twanginess to some of the guitar sections, and it sounds superb. It is a little different to what I am used to, with most of my personal copies coming from the UK or Japan, this is on of the few USA pressings I do give a high credit to, though there are some very subtle differences in the mastering, making it a bit like the 2003 30th anniversary pressing.... slightly different, but in a very good way.

The "0" at the end of B side runout is stamped and appears as Capitol's Jacksonville Pressing Plant stamp (likely that Specialty reused Jacksonville plating for the B side).  The SRC logo appears in the A side deadwax The E A S T emboss is on the B side label, around the spindle hole.

Recorded at Abbey Road Studios, London between June 1972 and January 1973.
