Jackson was briefly signed with Warner Bros in 1969 and released two singles with them. "But It's Alright" is basically the same recording, but the stereo sound has been "enhanced" a bit.

The flip was originally issued on Jackson's 1967 album "But It's Alright" (Calla C-1101, mono; Calla CS-1101, stereo).

List price:  Very Good+ is $4, Near Mint is $8
