The 10" is the original, as is the French title. It also came out as 78 rpm and 45 rpm albums with the same 8-track lineup.

The pasting job with the wooden frame border is typical of Capitol 10" albums of that period.

As a cohesive listening experience, the 10' is better than the 12" IMHO. The eight compositions on the 10" are thematically related and they flow well together.

That said, the 12" has "Sophisticated Savage." This is one of my favorite LB tunes but it is not thematically related to the 8 tunes on the 10" album.
