Comments:

Several sources have sited this disc as a straight clone of the Yellow Dog title of the same name, and that these the only three titles from this label were released for the West Coast of the US, they were however available in Europe and Japan, so this is probably more of a distribution issue.

Whilst I have found no evidence to support the latter it is clear that this is not a direct clone of Unsurpassed Masters Vol. 2 YD002. The disc has been remastered but this time this is no variation to the track listing.

The artwork is just an alteration of the Sphinx label issues which were responsible for the earlier joint release with Yellow Dog of the mis-pressed editions with only one Channel, which some people refer to as MONO.

In Japan the title was sold factory sealed in a slip bag including an Obi and Japanese track listing.

Clones

None know ,the alternate distinctive mastering and reduced number of tracks makes it easy to spot compared to Yellow Dog's Title of the same name.
