I looked this up yesterday to get the year correct. 
I guess it was orig released in 70, but was included on the US pressing of the Benefit album which was released in US in 72.

no wait, it must've charted in both years, although my stmt about the US pressing containing Teacher while the UK did not is true per wikipedia.   Maybe the Chrysalis label released in in 72, too?

BOS CSNY just for the memory of buying this on cassette -- one of the first albums I bought after discovering prog-FM radio in early '70.

I wasn't crazy about "Little Bitty Pretty One" at the time (the beginning of '50s-nostalgia-mania in the US), but it's a fab production.

Meanwhile on the Drive, Percy's got a little woman like to ball all the time. And your problem is?

The fabulous "Who's Lovin' You" on KPOO --the track that prompted Berry Gordy to say "he may be only 11, but he's got an old soul".
