This IS a 2nd pressing, indicated by the title, which was originally 'Heaven Is In Your Mind' in the US [only very briefly - UA soon changed the title back to 'Mr Fantasy']. The cover pictures are not indicative of the pressing, as Dave Mason left the group before the album was released [obviously he was reinstated before recording began on the 2nd LP]. Re: additional tracks, it was common practice in the US to include single tracks, which were often omitted from the UK equivalent. | [reply to this topic] |
|  | | | | Re: TRAFFIC Mr Fantasy (1968 US 12-track LP on the orange & purple
label with the second cover design pasted picture sleeve, completely
different to the UK issue. The first US issue was entitled 'Heaven Is In
Your Mind'. The American edition features an altered track listing and
different cover art with Winwood, Capaldi and Wood but not Mason,
who had quit the band prior to the album’s release. The US LP added
the British singles 'Paper Sun', 'Hole In My Shoe' and 'Smiling Phases'
to the album’s running order, along with a short snippet of the UK
single 'Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush' as a recurring motif
between tracks. The American edition also tacked on the short closing
track 'We’re A Fade, You Missed This', which is actually the fadeout of
an alternate version of 'Paper Sun'. The first album was withdrawn
after the success of 'Mr. Fantasy' & re-issued like this the following
year with slightly different sleeve art, although retaining the US specific
tracklisting. The sleeve shows just a little shelfwear & the vinyl remains
excellent with just a few light surface scuffs to show for its forty years
