This is without doubt the front cover: and this the back cover: MARION BROWN: WHY NOT. ESP-DISK' 1040 [1968] There have been some irritations in the past, because the LP had to be inserted on the left! A joke by Bernard Stollman? After some reissues in the same manner, a curious situation happened in 1974/1975: The last LP reissue by ESP itself in 1974 was now 'correct' for right handers <<< insert right MARION BROWN: WHY NOT. ESP-DISK' 1040 [1974] but the cover of the Japanese reissue in 1975 was still a replica of the original cover for left handers insert left >>> ESP-DISK'/NIPPON PHONOGRAM BT-5009 [1975] All LP reissues after 1975 are 'correct'!
