Stereo SKL5084
This album is a rather odd one. Stoneage was not issued in USA at all and in Japan it did only get an official release in 1980 with the catalogue number GXD-1017. But this LP was still ordered by London to be printed in UK by Decca for export to Japan. It is not known when this LP was made but probably just after the release in UK in 1971. They used the same catalogue number as in UK, SKL5084, because the album did not have any US/ Japan market catalogue number.
