I'm 98% certain that the BIG Ball is the third Loss Leader, Not the fourth. Record Show, Songbook, then The Big Ball.

There was an almost-unnoticed single album release called "October 10, 1969" that came out after Record Show. It was not advertised on the inner sleeves (none of the single-LP ones were; Zapped and Together also were originally ads in Rolling Stone magazine.)

According to this it is the Fourth in the series, after October 10, 1969, which was a single LP. http://www.dustbury.com/music/wblist.html#351
