Black Sheep

What's the real story behind this release in the UK? Well, no one really seems to be able to tell me with any great certainty. Perhaps one day Don or Bruce can clarify it for me. Until then, what follows is taken straight from the album sleeve seen at left. The label actually affixed to the vinyl bears the name Rock Machine/Mach2, then again it also lists Larry Crozier as "Larry Crozier Grozier ..." Take this info with a few grains of salt.
