My 3 copies of this album...
1st is the 2nd US pressing from 1969 w/ alternate cover and more hype for "Time Of The Season" - as it was a pretty big hit song.
2nd is the 1974 compilation of tracks that includes Odessey And Oracle in full on the 2nd LP
3rd is a somewhat recent pressing (~2003 pressed at Record Industry) that seems to have used a lot of artwork and credits from the 30th Anniversary Edition from 1997. It's ok.
My play copy is usually the 1969 pressing, but surprisingly, the 2nd LP in the compilation sounds pretty good, too. The newer one also sounds fine.
The 1969 copy doesn't sound all that great, but it works for the music.
