1966 (PRT PYE 6001), 1987 (UK). Reissue of Don't Be Fooled By The Name. Picture disc released as PRT PYX 6001 (bottom). As with the CD, the Japanese edition (PRT UDL-1009-Y) has different artwork. This title itself was reissued on white vinyl for Record Store Day 2015 (Sanctuary/BMG BMGRM047LP). As this limited edition contains the alternate version of 'Do Anything You Say', strictly speaking it's a reissue of I Dig Everything. |
