Release notes
[l=Columbia Records Pressing Plant, Terre Haute], pressing variant of the original U.S. release, as indicated by "T" etched in runouts. Released in a gatefold cover on red two-ey "360 Sound" Stereo labels with white lettering. Although Janis Joplin has a release-wide vocal credit (and indeed sings on every song), on the individual song credits, only "Sam" is credited for vocals on tracks A1 and B2. Track A3 is incorrectly credited to Gershwin Bros. on the front cover, though the label correctly credits George Gershwin and DuBose Heyward. Track B3 is credited to W. M. Thornton on the label, and "Big Mama" Thornton on the front cover. Live material recorded at Bill Graham's Fillmore Auditorium (tracks A1, A2 and B3). Turtle Blues "Vibes" courtesy of Barney's Beanery Approved By Hell's Angels Frisco Manufactured by Columbia Records/CBS, Inc. Litho in USA. Printed in U.S.A. Rear cover photo © Thomas Weir 1967.
