Whatevs, it still sounds good. More to the point, does anyone have any info on the release LP? BTW, 
I'm guessing circa 1968 based on the release year of many (but not all) cuts. It wasn't any earlier 
than that.

They would not have cut together a promotional multi-artist "hits" package from the individual 
masters, a cutting master of dubs would have been assembled.

Please pardon the mispellings and occassional insane word substitution I'm on an iPhone
