This undated reissue was glass mastered at Sony DADC and has different barcode on back cover than earlier versions (e.g. Safe As Milk or Safe As Milk). Back cover cover does not have "Made in Mexico" printed on it, unlike later reissue (Safe As Milk).

Based on DIDX-251216 present in matrix this release was issued around 2009.

Tracks 1 to 12 recorded April 1967 and released as "Safe As Milk" (Buddah 1001) in 1967. Cover art from this employed in the design.
Tracks 13 to 18 recorded Oct-Nov 1967 and appeared on "I May Be Hungry But I Sure Ain't Weird" in 1992 (Not in this remastered form).
