Buddah Records, 2365 002, 1971, Plain Sleeve 4 Track
 

Notes:

1st issue in UK.
The back cover states:
"These performances were recorded one night in Los Angeles in 1965"
This is incorrect. The content is part of various material recorded over weeks in 1967 for an aborted double-album follow-up to "Safe As Milk" (known broadly as 'Brown Wrapper'). This 'Mirror Man' recording is the first time some of the work officially surfaced, 4 years later as the 5th album - and why the band is "His Magic Band".
[This, together with "Strictly Personal" & "It Comes To You In A Plain Brown Wrapper" are inter-connected).

Further errors are perpetrated in the credits:
Alex St. Clair has had 'Snouffer' added to his alias, Handley is shown as Handsley & Semens as Simmons.

Die-cut 'window' cover with pasted in silver & black/white half-tone liner, opening at spine. Vinyl in un-punched white liner. Black & silver "Buddah" labels.

"Buddah Records [logo Select"
"Original recording, Buddah Records N.Y."
