Notes

V6 5045 on labels.
V/V6 5045X on inner gatefold.

The Mothers - We're Only In It For The Money is otherwise similar to this release, but also has the text "Manufactured and Distributed in Canada by Quality Records Limited" on the inside cover.
Another release, The Mothers - We're Only In It For The Money, does not have the "Printed in Canada" text on the back cover, but has the "Manufactured and Distributed in Canada by Quality Records Limited" text on the inside cover.

This pressing is notable for being one of, if not the only original version with the “Velvet Underground” comment.
