Some copies of the album refer to the film by its alternate English title, ''The Valley''. The LP was released in the United Kingdom on 3 June 1972, on Harvest/EMI and then in the United States on 15 June 1972, on Harvest/Capitol. The album reached #6 on the UK album charts and #46 on the U.S. album charts (where it was certified Gold by the RIAA in March 1994). In 1986, the album was released on CD. A digitally remastered CD was released in March 1996 in the UK and August 1996 in the U.S. The cover of ''Obscured By Clouds'' is an out-of-focus film still of a man in a tree. In 1996 when ''Obscured By Clouds'' was repackaged Jon Crossland suggested using infra red landscapes as backgrounds. - Wikipedia
