Great post DejaVoodoo, For me, it's the one with the illustration of Henry on the cover - though I think I have mono and stereo copies of that version. I must have 4 or 5 of those and have given away a bunch. Seems like that later version shows up all the time in thrifts - to this day! And I'm not much of a purist. I definitely think of it as an Exotica LP. I think I got my first copy in 1991 and I wore the hell out of it. And you know, I'm not sure if its a mono vs stereo thing, but I have a couple of copies that have really weird mixes. It's been awhile since I listened to them, but I think I have a couple copies where a guitar is mixed really loudly on a few songs and other instruments just seem to drop out. Very strange. I,Z
