Some information for the Ballplayers-Fans out there...! Maybe you wondered about that, too...
There are two versions floating around of our beloved "Ballplayers - Kingdome/I'm a Ballplayer" issue. One with a picture sleeve and one without. Both labels have the same tracknames, but a little variation on the label (one has address and the other not) and finally, both SOUND different! One copy is stereo, the other copy has a different mix and arrangement (especially the saxophon [SideA] and the cowbell [SideB] stand out). I was wondering what's been going on. Is it a wrong pressing? Do i hear wrong?
