This is My World. 1976 private (1978 Contempt)
The second press is the most known (left), but apparently the 1976 issue has a unique track. Though sold as a psych record, and that may be true when listening to some of the splendid solos, this is pretty much a hard rock album in terms of structure, content and vocal style. Leland's voice reminds me of a known mid 70s hard rock band, but I cannot seem to place it. Sort of high pitched, with a tint of anger. Decent enough album that was pretty easy to find 15 years ago, but has become quite collectible in recent times.

There's a very convincing reissue out there called A Self-taught, Decathlon, Hard Rock Musician! from Stone Circle. It combines the second pressing with a live EP. The label looks a bit dicey and all their reissues were done from 2015 to 2016. They have some obvious pirate editions as well. Instincts are telling me this one isn't above board. We'll just leave as is for now, and we can always alter later if more data emerges.
