Production

Packaging and title

The album is named after his #2[1] single "A Man Without Love," released on April 19, 1968.[2] The cover photo is the first one of him in a tuxedo, an image he would maintain through 1970.

Release

Decca Records released the album in the UK in July of 1968.[3] Parrot Records issued the album in the US in August 1968.[4]

The record sleeve and the label on the US Parrot album incorrectly show the running time of "A Man Without Love" to be 2:17, instead of 3:17. Running times of this recording on other releases are as high as 3:20.[5]

Decca re-issued the album on CD in 1989 on the London label with 6 additional bonus tracks;[6] they released the UK version again in 2017 as disc 3 of The Complete Decca Studio Albums.[7]
