Information:
In the early 70's the TMOQ Great White Wonder was copied by a label
called 'Rocolian'. They used various combinations of the TMOQ matrix
number not only as their matrix, but by logical extension, their reference
or catalog number. The relationship between POPO, TMOQ, CBM, and
Rocolian is not quite clear; but, at least in the beginning, there were
ties of some type.

Rocolian then made the decision to release a few copies of the set
as two separate LPs. They took single blank white covers with TMQ "GWW"
stamps, and created their own large "½
OF" stamp. This was merely stamped directly over the original
TMQ stamp to create a unique cover. The same cover was used for both discs.
The discs themselves were the same ones that Rocolian released in the two
LP set.

The labels were the standard white Rocolian label. (this label has
fake song titles with the heading "Dupre and his miracle sound"). This
is a very rare LP as only a handful were released in this cover. Rarer
still, it was also released as Approximately.
