Note 1: all other mono vinyl editions (Italy, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Sundazed US reissue) are the same as the US mono.  There was apparently a mono release in Rhodesia, which I have not heard, but it is most likely to be the same as the South African release, i.e. the US mono mix again.

Note 2: on the second US pressing of the original CD "Sad-Eyed Lady Of The Lowlands" was extended to the length shown for the full-length original CD.  All other tracks were the same length as on the first abridged pressing.
