Notes

℗ 1972 on labels (indicating when originally recorded), but single released in mid-1973.

Alternate Specialty pressing variation (see Images), with identical typesetting to this pressing, except for slight differences in label background (notably the "45 R. P. M." line which is set in 10 point Vogue Extra Bold, as opposed to other pressing where that line was set in 10 point News Gothic Bold and the spacing as "R.P.M.")
