Version notes

A Motown Records release
Originally released in 1971 by Motown Records
A Product Of Motown Records

Two LP 50th Anniversary reissue with heavy stock tip-on jacket and custom printed inner sleeves.

Hype sticker on front cover shrink-wrap:
"Direct to analog mastering by Kevin Gray / Cohearent Audio"
"2LP Pressed on 180gm vinyl at Precision"
"Bonus LP featuring rare cuts making their vinyl debut, highlighted by Marvin's previously unreleased 'stripped' version, plus all original mono single mixes and their B-sides"

Sticker on back cover shrink-wrap:
"Made in Czech Republic"

Stickers on sealed copies state contradictory information: "Pressed [...] at Precision" on hype sticker vs. "Made in Czech Republic" on back cover sticker, suggesting the records were actually pressed by GZ Media.
