Notes
Initial German release in a gatefold sleeve and with the big (deep groove) pressing rings from Deutsche Grammophon Gesellschaft Pressing Plant.

Very few copies have a sticker on labels: SAMPLE RECORD – NOT FOR SALE

H To He Who Am The Only One is very similar, but show the small pressing rings as used since summer 1972.
H To He Who Am The Only One single sleeve reissue with small pressing rings.
H To He Who Am The Only One similar gatefold but with PRS Hannover stamp on the rear cover and small pressing rings and different label perimeter text.
