There is a near endless variety of ways in which this LP
can be found.
The same companies have packaged the same album many ways. Some
of
these packages have been altered by the distributors, retailers, and
even
by the end line consumer. Along with the minor intentional
alterations
(such as changes in insert color) there are inadvertent minor changes
such
as differing hues of the same color cardboard stock used for jackets,
or
raw vinyl used to press the LP. It would be
not only a herculean
task to try to document every insignificant minor unintentional
variant,
but would serve little practical purpose, and would be way beyond the
scope
even of this in-depth examination.

There were, however, several oddities that need a mention, as well
as many other versions that we will try to identify in this section.
bobsboots.com has verified a rare version that appeared in Berkeley,
California in the fall of 1969. This version was not
listed in Great White Answers,
and only limited and uncertain information was include
in Raging Glory. It is the
same version as the 1970 TMQ release,
yet it seems to have appeared the year before. There are far more
questions than answers about this release, but it is known that it came
as a set in two seperate blank white sleeves. The labels
were blank
white as well. The first LP has a hand carved matrix of
11070 on side A, and 11071
on side B. Oddly, the second LP
matrix does not run consecutively. The numbers on it are 11072
for side A and 11074 for side B.
Where this set fits into the chronology of the first few releases is
unknown.

gwa 1C - 1970 or 1971 saw the
release of this double USA album.
Like the original, it has no identifying marks. Blank cover,
blank
labels. It contains the same songs as the original, however sides
1 and 2 are reversed; and sides 3 and 4 are reversed. The
matrix
numbers are MR A 14213 & MR A 14214 for
each respectively.
The B sides of the albums have the same matrix as the A side, followed
by a small "x".

gwa 1D - 1970 was also the release year of another
blank label and
blank cover piece (although this cover has a large center hole to
expose the blank label). Again, same songs as the original ...
accept
" I shall be released" has been left off! The matrix is 40 A
(B/C/D respectively) 6910 421.

Another verified piece comes in two separate blank white jackets with
a paper insert. The insert says
"The original Great White Wonder". LP one
has a blank white
label. LP two has a blank grey label.
The matrix is simply A, B, C, and D.
Black vinyl.

Two unconfirmed doubles include an English version with one or two
tracks omitted, and "Living the blues" on two tracks. And GWW
#41
reported in Hot Wacks from WCF (actually Berkeley).
This possibly might
have been confusion resulting from the 'Uncut version'

blank
cover. Discussed in detail in Rolling Stone magazine No. 54.
Reported as the first English bootleg, this piece sold 1250
copies.
Matrix number is GWW LP1 A/B.

The original GWW LPs have also been found in individual
covers, presented
as two singles. It is not know whether they were originally issued this
way, or sets were simply split up. As with the original, there are no
markings.
Covers and lables are blank white.
