Canadian Vertigo
released quite some British albums rather than US ones. As far as we're
aware, all releases are very similar to their British examples, except
two (whereof one by mistake) . Label design, matrix numbers and general
information is therefore treated alongside this one album with a
difference. Vertigo albums were distributed by London of Canada (!).
This is noted on the label and somewhere on most covers, too.
We have not yet heard of any single releases from Canada.

GENTLE GIANT - same (1972)
Both the
inside and outside of the cover of this release has exactly the same
design as the British one, but it is made of much thicker board and in
''American'' style with slicks that are pasted over the basic board.
The A-side label is identical to the British one.

released considerably later than the British version
The other differing release is 6360 032 Patto Hold your fire. This has the
British catalogue number, but the USA cover!
