Interesting and maybe useless information
 
Text from the Yahoo Chat:
 
Can anyone tell me why the Roger Dean title on 'First Base' was changed to a generic one for the Repertoire reissue?
 
Reply:
THAT is the fault of those MORONS at U.S. CAPITOL records who were ORIGINALLY responsible for ALTERING THE ALBUM SLEEVE GRAPHICS IN THE **FIRST PLACE**...
 
The Original
The Bad copy...
 
..They also, for some dumb reason, altered the printed lyrics of AMAR CABALLERO , billing ALAN as ALAN SHACK-LOCK credited with his various instruments, vocals and...something called... PER - CUSSION
 
THAT company also abandoned the gatefold sleeve (Originally HARVEST SHVL-812)and presented the hapless U.S. fans with ONE-HALF A PHOTO on EACH SIDE of the ALBUM: The horses on front, the sunset on back..
