FOUND THIS ONE MORE DIFFICULT TO TRACK DOWN, SEE TEXT IN BOLD BELOW. THE COVERS ON THIS ONE IS AS PHOTOGRAPHED. THE VINYL IS IN GOOD/VERY GOOD CONDITION. AS SUGGESTED THIS IS NOT A GREAT PRESSING FROM A SOUND PERSPECTIVE. ARTICLE SAYS IT COMES WITH AN INSERT. THIS ONE DOES NOT HAVE ONE! ALL SAID THIS IS STILL A RARE ALBUM TO FILL A GAP IN YOUR COLLECTION.

There is a near endless variety of ways in which this LP can be found.  The same companies have packaged the same album many ways.  Some of these packages have been altered by the distributors, retailers, and even by the end line consumer.  Along with the minor intentional alterations (such as changes in insert color) there are inadvertent minor changes such as differing hues of the same color cardboard stock used for jackets, or raw vinyl used to press the LP.  It would be  not only a herculean task to try to document every insignificant minor unintentional variant, but would serve little practical purpose, and would be way beyond the scope even of this in-depth examination.

There were, however, several oddities that need a mention, as well as many other versions that we will try to identify in this section.

bobsboots.com has verified a rare version that appeared in Berkeley, California in the fall of 1969. This version was not listed in Great White Answers, and only limited and uncertain information was include  in Raging Glory. It is the same version as the 1970 TMQ release, yet it seems to have appeared the year before. There are far more questions than answers about this release, but it is known that it came as a set in two seperate blank white sleeves. The labels were blank white as well. The first LP has a hand carved matrix of 11070 on side A, and 11071 on side B. Oddly, the second LP matrix does not run consecutively. The numbers on it are 11072 for side Aand 11074 for side B. Where this set fits into the chronology of the first few releases is unknown.

gwa 1C - 1970 or 1971 saw  the release of this double USA album.  Like the original, it has no identifying marks.  Blank cover, blank labels.  It contains the same songs as the original, however sides 1 and 2 are reversed; and sides 3 and 4 are reversed.  The matrix  numbers are  MR A 14213 & MR A 14214  for each respectively.  The B sides of the albums have the same matrix as the A side, followed by a small "x".

gwa 1D - 1970 was also the release year of another blank label and blank cover  piece (although this cover has a large center hole to expose the blank label).  Again, same songs as the original ... accept " I shall be released" has been left off! The matrix is 40 A (B/C/D respectively) 6910 421.

Another verified piece comes in two separate blank white jackets with a paper insert.  The insert says  
 "The original Great White Wonder".  LP one has a blank white label.  LP two  has a blank grey label.  The matrix is simply A, B, C, and D. Black vinyl.
