Releases
It was released by Albert Productions on the Parlophone label in Australia on 24 March 1966. The album was only released in mono; no stereo mix was made. It was reissued by Albert Productions (this time on their own label) in the 1980s on LP and compact disc. Reissue label Repertoire Records later released the album in 1992 with eleven bonus tracks. These included b-sides, 1966's Easyfever E.P., album outtakes, alternate mixes from the Good Friday album and an outtake from the group's audition session at EMI Studios, London.
