Notes:

There are actually 2 different pressings and 2 different covers = 3 different editions. This listing is for the second one:
- Matchbook like sleeve is textured like 1st edition, not slick and glossy (3rd edition).
- Printed inner sleeve is rather purple like 1st edition (3rd edition has a blue-ish touch).
- Record labels have a broad elevated ring like 3rd edition (the 1st edition labels are flat).
- Vinyl is lighter and thinner than the 1st edition (like 3rd edition).
- Runout inscriptions are exactly the same for both pressings.
- Included a fold-out poster with images and text (Always Now lyrics and verses 10 to 12 from the "The Wheel of Analytic Meditation" by Mi-pham rNam-par rGyal-ba).
- Has a red seal like 1st edition (3rd hasn't).

Overall: 2nd edition = 1st edition cover (inserts, etc.) with 3rd edition "labels" and vinyl.

Recorded at Britannia Row in February 1981.
