W.B.lbl 6th Feb 2025		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Great CBS Masterworks Recordings Of Baroque Favorites From "Kramer Vs. Kramer"	I know the new {Images #3780872 & 3780873} was Santa Maria, but which plant pressed {Images #3035720 & 3035721} - Pitman, or Terre Haute? I know that all plants were burning off what was left of "Columbia Masterworks" label stock (the color scheme at this point PMS 404 Grey and PMS 143 Orange), but the front cover {Image #3035718} has the label as CBS Masterworks.
W.B.lbl 22nd Jan 2025		Vinyl Album Deep Purple - The Book Of Taliesyn	{Images #2681823 & 2681825} would have been pressed after Bill Cosby bailed out of the Tetragrammaton partnership. Both that and {Images #982703 & 982704} had label typesetting from Columbia Pitman.
W.B.lbl 19th Jan 2025		78 RPM The Teenagers Featuring Frankie Lymon - Why Do Fools Fall In Love / Please Be Mine	I'd've left it at January 1956 in terms of its release and no exact day, especially given Billboard's "Review Spotlight" date. The label fonts on both copies shown are from Progressive Label & Litho Co. of Brooklyn, NY.
W.B.lbl 19th Jan 2025		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Festival Of Light Classical Music	Given the L7OP- prefix, shouldn't this release be 1960? Also, this is a 12-record set.
W.B.lbl 17th Jan 2025		Vinyl Album Peter Sarstedt - As Though It Were A Movie	Sounds like it's contingent on which pressing plant turned out which copy that had which label. {Images #1897117 & 1897118} was pressed by All Disc in Roselle, NJ, with Progressive Label & Litho type - and they were apparently the ones that turned out the World Pacific Jazz copies. Sounds like there was a blurring of what was what, once Pacific Jazz turned into World Pacific Jazz after the label designs were revamped to mention Liberty/UA, Inc., in the rim print.
W.B.lbl 16th Jan 2025		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Great Operettas	Based on the matrix numbers, the original release would have been 1962; but no doubt this was in the active catalogue for years and years.
W.B.lbl 12th Jan 2025		Vinyl Album Paul Robeson - Spirituals	Although the grey-label {Images #1956263 & 1956264} looks like 1961, judging from the pressing ring, but also it was before 'CBS' was added between 'COLUMBIA' and 'MASTERWORKS' on the top logohead.
W.B.lbl 4th Jan 2025		78 RPM Records Of Knowledge Chorus - Songs Girl Scouts Sing	It was 1953 all right. For one thing, the E3-CB prefix signified that year (E = 1950, 3 = 3). Secondly, the label fonts also dated to that year.
W.B.lbl 19th Dec 2024		Vinyl Album Olivia Newton-John - Music Makes My Day	And the back cover {Image #794318} photo would be used as the front cover for her 1974 U.S. MCA Lp If You Love Me, Let Me Know.
W.B.lbl 7th Dec 2024		Vinyl Album The DeFranco Family Featuring Tony DeFranco - Save The Last Dance For Me	Added Pitman variant, finally.
W.B.lbl 2nd Dec 2024		78 RPM Don Charles Presents The Singing Dogs - Pat-A-Cake, Pat-A-Cake / Three Blind Mice	Yet when "Jingle Bells" as a stand-alone single was reissued starting in late 1971 by RCA in the U.S. and Canada, UK Pye regrettably did not follow suit.
W.B.lbl 2nd Dec 2024		Vinyl Album Vaughn Meader - Have Some Nuts!!!	I presume just before that day in Dallas. Alas, it turned out to be too little, too late.
W.B.lbl 30th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album Hal Holbrook - Mark Twain Tonight	Ahem . . . it was issued both in mono and stereo in 1959. The first pressings would have had the 'six eye' design, as on here. Copies also exist on both forms of two-eye labels (pre- and post-1965) and the 1970-80 'ring around Columbia' Masterworks variant design.
W.B.lbl 27th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Two Hearts In 3/4 Time	Shouldn't the mono release be put in a separate entry?
W.B.lbl 24th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album The Rev. Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. - In Search Of Freedom	Funny that, in the type department, {Images #3722313 & 3722314} was from Columbia Pitman. I'm grateful, don't get me wrong, but for something that was put out more as a public service . . .
W.B.lbl 18th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album Frampton's Camel - Frampton's Camel	{Images #3720224 & 3720225} is Columbia Terre Haute. A Columbia Pitman variant also exists.
W.B.lbl 16th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album Jackie Lomax - Is This What You Want?	Notice, in the credits, only one Beatle was NOT involved: John Lennon.
W.B.lbl 15th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album The Ramsey Lewis Trio + Jean DuShon - You Better Believe Me	Funny, that was just duly changed.
W.B.lbl 14th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Walt Disney Presents The Original Soundtrack Of "Mary Poppins"	RCA had a special cat. # for this, suggesting that their issue was for customers of their Record Club.
W.B.lbl 12th Nov 2024		78 RPM Helga Mott And Gerald Moore - Herzeleid	In metrics, the pressing rings were 70mm and 19mm. The center label woudl have been 76.0mm (close to the U.S. 76.2mm).
W.B.lbl 7th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album "Big" Tiny Little - Honky Tonk Piano	A4 was for years the theme of The Joe Franklin Show on WOR-TV (Channel 9) in New York.
W.B.lbl 30th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Bobby Sherman - Bobby Sherman's Greatest Hits Volume 1	Where was {Images #2383117 & 2383118} pressed, is my question. I could tell somewhat that Columbia Terre Haute pressed {Images #514168 & 514169} and Pitman {Images #1909664 & 1909665}. I also wonder if the affected plant that printed on the yellow label didn't have the blanks the other plants had.
W.B.lbl 29th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Morgana King - New Beginnings...	A variant with Columbia Pitman typesetting exists.
W.B.lbl 27th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Tyrone Davis - Without You In My Life	Also came in a Columbia Pitman label typesetting variant.
W.B.lbl 14th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Let It Be	That would've been on the second run of pressings as on {Image #451696}.
W.B.lbl 10th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Glenn Miller And His Orchestra - Glenn Miller	What's more, a true "reissue" with said earlier design would have had the label colored tan rather than orange.
W.B.lbl 4th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Glenn Miller And His Orchestra - Glenn Miller	The orange-label {Images #1618694, 1618696, 1618698 & 1618699} would have been on first-release; it would only qualify as a "reissue" if the paper were uncoated finish rather than coated as it was when this first came out in '69. The "black label, dog near top" as on {Images #1618689, 1618690, 1618691 & 1618692} was first inaugurated in the Summer of 1976, and thus pressed after that.
W.B.lbl 3rd Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Mongo Santamaria - El Pussy Cat	The {Image #3687990} cover surely dates to 1967, compared to how the cover of the mono entry was laid out.
W.B.lbl 3rd Oct 2024		Vinyl Album B. J. Thomas - Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head	Very likely Keel Mfg. It no doubt preceded the {Images #2270121 & 2270122} variant.
W.B.lbl 30th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Chart Action 83	By the deadwax, what pressing plant would be '80'?
