1973 reissue of demo sessions recorded by Soft Machine in London, April 1967, and originally released under the title Faces and Places Vol. 7 in 1972.

The uncredited designer used Bottleneck (Letraset, 1972) and spaced the bottom-heavy letters so tightly that several of them join up.

The editors of Discogs point out that the colored portraits of Elton Dean, Mike Ratledge, Hugh Hopper, and Robert Wyatt show the wrong line-up: Dean and Hopper are not present on these recordings.
