TMOQ version BD-105 matrix
This is the same TMOQ package as was just viewed. It was, however pressed from different master plates. If you are on a detailed study of the release be sure to read all of the info to the right for the differences in the matrix. If you are making a casual tour feel free to continue without stopping here as this is in actuality virtually the same package with slight variations.

Notes:
Not only has TMOQ released this title several times, but they have also pressed it from a couple different masters.  They drastically altered the matrices of the various master stampers they produced, so it is possible to track exactly which album resulted from which set of master plates. This section follows the BD-105 matrix. This set of stampers would also later be used for the Dead head logo release. There were also releases pressed from an entirely different set of stampers. The 115 plates

BD-105 versions 
(Non-gwa) 

Released in 1971, it is unclear why this original TMOQ package was pressed from entirely different plates then the other versions. The completely uncharacteristic matrix would suggest that TMQ acquired these plates from another manufacturer. No evidence, however,  has been found that would suggest that the title was ever released by anyone else under this matrix. Perhaps TMQ was just in a new and experimental mode. There are variations in the matrix to suggest one or both of the above hypotheses. Some matrix have an '-RI' following. Some have other numbers as well that are crossed out. These 'BD'  releases are indeed an enigma! 
The various released packages include the copy shown above with yellow jacket, clear green vinyl, large '1&2' labels, and a deep red insert. 
Other variations include a white or beige jacket, green, or clear green or blue vinyl, original pig logo labels, and gray or beige inserts. 
These plates were also later used to press the 'Dead head' release. It had a white jacket, a copy of the original insert, an added Dead-head logo and BD-105 reference number, and great looking clear/multicolor splatter vinyl with no labels.
