Similar to “II”, the previous release had editing processing that pinched the parts between songs, but this edition is a straight copy, and the advantage is that it is recorded as it is from the album, including the trace noise between songs. Probably. This promo monaural LP has been attracting attention in recent years, and although a very small number may be available on some used markets, it is a rare record that is traded at a high price of 100,000 yen or more each, and it is worth listening to. It can be said that it is a happy release for those who have never heard of it.

As mentioned earlier, the regular release version is stereo, so the original symbol “SD” is added before the record number, but the promo mono version is monaural, so that SD is not included.

As a bonus, the “III” disc includes a promo mono single of “Gallows Pole” (for some reason, the total time is about 14 seconds longer than the released version), and “Houses Of The Holy” includes “Over The Hills And Far Away”. Includes a promo mono single of “D’yer Mak’er” and a promo mono edit single of “D’yer Mak’er”.
