Early pressings of the original stereo album had only 11 tracks while the mono version had all 12 tracks. The stereo edition may have been missing "I Cover The Waterfront" because it was only recorded in mono.[3] Later stereo pressings in some international markets and in boxed sets restored "Waterfront," beginning circa 1975 (in Holland).[4]
