This particular reissue of the classic album shows just how well the CD format worked for catalog product. We get the complete UK stereo album, followed by the complete US mono. Why is this important? Because the latter was resequenced after Dave Mason bailed to remove all but one of his songs, replacing them with the first two singles. The group even went so far as to shoot new cover photos without poor Dave. The booklet explains the whole ugly story in detail.
