Delmark CD DD-615 (2011): "The source material for the CD is now the original 1967 analog stereo mix by Stu Black." The Delmark DS-615 (1967) mix of "Every Night and Every Day" (2:19) omits the first verse entirely, because there was a bum note that prevented its use (Bob Koester); this apparently has been resolved for the 2011 CD remastered reissue
