Reissues
The LP was reissued in 1979 by Pickwick Records on vinyl and cassette tape. This edition added a biographical liner note about the band, but changed the song order and omitted three songs ("Santo Domingo," "(He's Got the) Whole World In His Hands" and "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls").[2] The only compact disc reissue of the LP to date was a Japanese version, now out of print.
