notes

50th Anniversary Mix By Tony Visconti.

Standalone release of "2019 Mixes" CD from Conversation Piece.

Issued with a spot-varnished die-cut slipcover over a separate tri-panel gatefold digisleeve, again with spot-varnishing over the color artwork and photos. The UPC code is on the shrink wrap, not on either back cover. The disc artwork is based on the label design used for the original UK LP release on Philips Records, similarly to the 2009 and 2015 remasters. However, the label is blue rather than black and features most of the text in lowercase letters rather than uppercase. The disc is packaged without an inner sleeve.

"Conversation Piece", the B-side to the original 1970 non-album single release of "The Prettiest Star", is added here for the first time; it was originally planned for release on the 1969 LP, but was cut due to space constraints. Conversely, the hidden track "Don't Sit Down" is not included on this release, as was also the case on the 1969 Mercury US LP and the 1972 RCA LP (also used as the basis for the RCA CD release).
