デザインが異なる2種類の「つづれおり」のプロモ盤を見つけてしまったため、頭を抱えてます・・・。

こちらは、ラベルのODEのロゴの灰色（銀色）にかぶってアルバム・タイトルや"PROMOTION COPY"などが印刷されたヴァージョン。オリジナル・カンパニー・スリーヴは、レコードを入れる部分の仕様がもう一種類のヴァージョンと異なっています。どちらが「より早い時期のプレス」なのかわかりません。聴き比べても僕の貧弱なシステムではよくわかりませんでした。

どっちが先の仕様かわかる方、ぜひ教えてください。

"You've Got A Friend"

When you're down and troubled,
And you need some love and care,
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me,
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night.

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep your head together and call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at your door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, yeah, yeah, to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
And I'll be there, yes I will.

Now, ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold?
They'll hurt you, yes, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them,
Oh, but don't you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running, running, yeah, yeah, yeah, to see you again.
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there, yes I will.
You've got a friend

歌声や歌い方、メロディ、アレンジ、どれもすごく好きなんですけどねー。
