[Notes concerning this particular album, its various versions, and pressings]:
This album came with incorrect tracks' duration, varying from version to version, and from pressing to pressing. There are 4 different versions (editions) of this album.
The most significant difference is the length of 'Nightflight To Venus':
- 1st pressing with 7:11 min
- 2nd pressing with 5:55 min
- 3rd pressing with 4:58 min
- 4th pressing with 4:46 min (as on cover, this release), as the final and most common one. Some versions have no indication of a duration of 4:46 min, but can be recognized by their runout matrix (as here).

Durations listed on label are wrong, the ones correct are on the back of the cover, as listed above.
This the comparison between the two durations (cover/label):
A1: 4:46 / 5:15
A2: 5:51 / 5:10
A3: 3:10 / 3:45
A4: 6:51 / 6:13
A5: 2:36 / 3:26
B1: 4:18 / 5:00
B2: 3:31 / 4:20
B3: 4:02 / 4:00
B4: 5:32 / 5:12
B5: 4:00 / 4:05
