Notes

This version comes in a laminated sleeve identical to that of the first pressing Karma, but has the mid-1970 labels with two separate rainbow boxes flanked by ® symbols at top.

The Creator Has A Master Plan recorded: February 14, 1969
Colors recorded: February 19, 1969

Back of jacket lists contents as:
The Creator Has A Master Plan
Light Of Love
Colors

Center labels and inside gatefold list side B as being just the track 'Colors'. The unlisted track that starts side B is actually the second part to 'The Creator Has A Master Plan'. The actual track 'Colors' is only 5:43 long.

Catalog number on jacket listed as A-9181, and on center labels as AS-9181.

Similar looking pressings can be distinguished thus:
Karma has a 1972 copyright declaration in the label rim text, unlaminated.

    This pressing sounds incredible. Unless you want an original as a collector, there's no need to shell out the extra cash.
