    • Marc:
      Respectfully, that’s what Wikipedia says. But it’s wrong. My other sources all say the release date in the UK was August 5, 1967 and October 21, 1967 in the US. Check AllMusic, MusicBrainz. Discogs and 45Cat, plus others. Wikipedia is not necessarily a reliable source for facts.
      Cheers, Dr. Rock
