The chorus melody of "Ma Baker" is lifted from "Sidi Mansour" by Mohammed Hanesh from 1975.
Currently there are 9 versions submitted of the German 7" on Hansa, cat# 17 888 AT. The main disctinction is between 'early' and standard album versions, identified by actual durations (which mostly differ from durations printed on labels) and matrix#.
