Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
Produced by Thom Bridwell for H. I. R., Inc. in assoc. with J. Car Prods.
Original pressing most easily identified by the runouts including a Frankford/Wayne mastering stamp. Labels also have a distinctive pressing ring pattern consisting of a 1 3/8" ring with a hard edge surrounded by an 2 3/4" ring with a sloped edge. This is as compared to a bootleg with a large ring only (Help Is On The Way (US) (opens in a new tab)) and a bootleg with a small ring only (Help Is On The Way (US) (opens in a new tab)). Another bootleg has an obvious typo ("Help Is ONE The Way") on the labels: Help Is One The Way (opens in a new tab).
