This edition, along with the below mentioned counterfeit, contain some extra music at the end of the LP. As The Supermen fades out a short section of Saviour Machine is heard. It appears this was the original intention, though not employed on the other Mercury editions, as a very brief section can be heard, very quietly, on the later RCA editions (i.e., it's on the master tape)

Not to confuse with this counterfeit. Genuine copies have machine-stamped matrices while the counterfeits have hand-scratched ones.

    Quite curious to see how 'Saviour Machine' was implemented into the ending of 'The Supermen' if anyone has a audio clip for comparison.

      The album was engineered by Ken Scott, produced by Tony Visconti. Blue label with silver print. Its: Mercury 6338 041. I would drop the D wich is in a little box and is never cited anywhere.
