Notes:

Catalog # "MCA 2-8000" on lower right front, upper right back, and upper spine of gatefold jacket
Catalog # "94902" on lower spine of gatefold jacket & runouts of each disc

The runouts on each record side show a prefix to the Club cat # of "STBO" but that prefix does not appear anywhere other than the runouts - not the jacket or the labels.

This is a Club Edition as defined by the [l175227 profile.

This release doesn't state "Mfg. By Capitol" anywhere on it but is a [l175227 edition denoted by club catalog number "STBO 94902" in runouts of each disc & "94902" on the jacket spine.

The record labels are a picture of Neil Diamond with lights around him on stage which are the same labels found on the commercial first pressings of this set but there is a brown band covering the rim text from the commercial release which stated "Ⓒ 1972 MCA ...".

The gatefold jacket Includes four pages of photos as part of the inside gatefold.  Each turn of a jacket 'page' exposes another 12x24" poster of Neil with the center poster containing the album credits.  The center poster is also separated in the middle which allows the records to be inserted or removed from within the jacket as well as from the outer edges.

Recorded in concert at The Greek Theatre, Los Angeles on August 24, 1972.

"Walk Off" is listed as track on label, but not on sleeve.
