LP4049 - Most probably the first mix out in this serie. Compared with the other releases these are straight mixes with almost no effects (like mooing sounds).
KLP005 - This mix has the added cowsounds and other soundeffects as they appear on some re-issues. One of the songs that stands out is 'Ark Of The Congo Man'. This version (aka 'Ark Of Covenant') ends with a 2.5 minutes dub, longer than any later re-issues.
A7433 - Edited re-issues taken from the record above
