Description
Conservatively graded VG+ to EX. This is the first pressing ('Version 1'), featuring 23 songs across 22 tracks. Though listed separately on the labels and inside-gatefold track list, A3 & A4 are one continuous take and are banded together as one track, with a combined time of 6:20.
This version's distinguishing attributes:
The sleeve has red text along the spine, and no track listing on the rear sleeve.
The labels have no rim text at the top (later pressings' rim texts apologize for the incorrect track listing on the sleeve).
'Who Killed Bambi?' does not appear on this version, neither on its discs nor its track listings.
The track listing on the inside gatefold is not in anything like a correct order. It omits 'Rock Around the Clock' altogether, and lists 'Johnny B. Goode' and 'Roadrunner' as two separate tracks. It also mis-titles 'No one is Innocent' as 'Cosh The Driver', 'Friggin' In The Riggin' as 'The Good Ship Venus', and 'C'mon Everybody' as 'Come On Everybody'.
Includes a paper insert listing of an amended track list which still does not match the album. Whatcha Gonna Do About it, is on this album, while I Wanna Be Me and Who Killed Bambi are not. To quote the last line of the title track, "...It's A Swindle".
