W.B.lbl 7th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Richie Havens - Richard P. Havens 1983	Though not on here, was later reissued in 1970 as MGM SE 4700-2. Knew someone who once had a copy of this in that form.
W.B.lbl 6th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Vacation In Hi Fi	Have diligently filled out - and in some cases, corrected - the entire itinerary. Note the discrepancy in A7 title.
W.B.lbl 5th Oct 2023		78 RPM The King Cole Trio - Gee, Baby, Ain't I Good To You / I Realize Now	From what I've gauged, the "anvil" existed from the time the Scranton Record Co. came into existence (superseding Scranton Button Co.). Unless my mind's playing tricks on me somehow (a rarity, given my usual eye and ear for detail). Whichever way you slice it, however, {Images #1243006 & 1243007} is definitely a circa 1945-46 pressing. (The "Reg. U.S. Pat. Off." from what I gathered, first showed up around 1947.)
W.B.lbl 5th Oct 2023		78 RPM King Cole Trio - Sweet Lorraine / Embraceable You	Capitol was one of the first - if not THE first - of the major labels to use magnetic tape, in 1948. Thus they were in an advantageous position once the second AFM recording ban ended that December. They started out with the Ampex 200's where the recording head was opposite from future models. I don't think the other labels got into tape until early on in the next year. Based on what I read in an Al Jolson discography, Decca didn't get on board the tape cavalcade until the middle of '49, and again with 200's. Columbia got Ampex 300's starting around Spring 1949. RCA Victor had their own brand tape machines to record and play back with.
W.B.lbl 4th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Cat Stevens - Teaser And The Firecat	G-d - or, in his case today, Allah - only knows.
W.B.lbl 4th Oct 2023		Vinyl Album David McCallum - McCallum	I invite all to bring forth not only the Scranton variant to put on here, but also the accompanying Side 1 to match Side 2 of the Los Angeles {Image #1698812}.
W.B.lbl 3rd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Kermit Schafer - All Time Great Bloopers Volumes: 5 & 6	I wonder if Benny Hill had albums like these in his collection, given his use of similar misspeakings in his own "bloopers" sketches.
W.B.lbl 3rd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Autumn Leaves	This would have been from 1973, one year after the original MCA Special Markets pressing linked below.
W.B.lbl 3rd Oct 2023		78 RPM Eddie Hunter - Hard Times / Mamie	Curious, what would the label diameter size (and accompanying ring) have been on this one?
W.B.lbl 3rd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album David McCallum - McCallum	Side 2 {Image #1698812} is Los Angeles, thus doesn't match with the Scranton Side 1 {Image #530440}.
W.B.lbl 3rd Oct 2023		Vinyl Album David McCallum - McCallum	Jacksonville seemed on this to anticipate how 1970's left and right sides of Capitol LP's would have been laid out, no? Though what I'm linking to is stereo, a mono Scranton (except for the stereo references) would have looked something like this.
W.B.lbl 1st Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Hannah And Her Sisters (A Selection Of Music From The Motion Picture)	I remember Mad magazine's takeoff on the film - "Henna And Her Sickos."
W.B.lbl 1st Oct 2023		Vinyl Album Tom Fogerty - Myopia	So far, two RCA plants - Hollywood (promo {Images #1238428 & 1238429} and stock {Images #3386008 & 3386009} and Indianapolis ({Images #1238431 & 1238432}) - are the only ones represented here. Elsewhere in websville there is a Columbia Pitman pressing; click here to see it.
W.B.lbl 30th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Chuck Jackson - Encore!	Though a 1963 release, {Images #3385766 & 3385767} betrays a c.1968 Columbia Pitman pressing (the small label type is 6 point Spartan Heavy Condensed, introduced to their print and label duplication shop in February of that year).
W.B.lbl 29th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Thomas Scherman - Analysis Record Of Johannes Brahms Piano Concerto No.2 In B Flat	Had there been a stereo version of this, the matrix prefix would have been K2RX-. ('X' by 1959 was reshuffled in RCA's Byzantine matrix code system to signify 10" - 33⅓ RPM - Stereo.)
W.B.lbl 27th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album The Mamas And The Papas - People Like Us	Ahem . . . the U.S.A. credit was referred to where this was originally released. This release would be from South Africa.
W.B.lbl 25th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Boyd Raeburn And His Orchestra - Fraternity Rush	Images #3382017 & 3382018} is a Hollywood pressing with Bert-Co type. Bridgeport copies seem pretty scarce in comparison.
W.B.lbl 24th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album America - Harbor	At least some Columbia-pressed copies with Santa Maria type as on {Images #684495 & 684496} exist with "palm trees" labels - only with the Burbank address zip as 91505.
W.B.lbl 24th Sep 2023		78 RPM The Five Scalders - If Only You Were Mine / There Will Come A Time	They probably had a crystal ball that predicted two different labels decades down the road - one still existing that specializes in bluegrass music, the other a pioneering rap label that no longer exists.
W.B.lbl 24th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album The Lennon Sisters - The Lennon Sisters Sing Twelve Great Hits, Vol. II	The Capitol Record Club cat. # dates to about 1968. The original ish of this was DLP 25622 (mono DLP 3622). 1965 Capitol Record Club issues would have been more or less within the 90500 range.
W.B.lbl 24th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Fleetwood Mac - The Original Fleetwood Mac	That a different incarnation of the Mac were on Warner Bros. at the point this was released, makes this ish' rather ironic in that sense, no?
W.B.lbl 22nd Sep 2023		Vinyl Album The Sandpipers - Come Saturday Morning	{Images #3380286 & 3380287} is a Columbia Terre Haute pressing; frankly, Pitman did a much better typesetting and layout job.
W.B.lbl 17th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Van Dyke Parks - Song Cycle	You may be right that that's original, as {Image #3375275} has the 'WB' shield - but {Images #1233740 & 3375274} have the newer 'W7' logo signifying the change to Warner Bros.-Seven Arts. Also, {Image #3375275} has "Leonard" Waronker's name in an older font, which looks like Venus Medium, and the credits in Venus Light and Medium; {Images #1233740 & 3375274} have all set in Helvetica - and also, more important, a 1968 copyright date for the music publishing.
W.B.lbl 15th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Hearts And Flowers - Now Is The Time For Hearts And Flowers	{Images #3375787 & 3375788} is a Los Angeles pressing. Not here, but somewhere else, is the Scranton which, as far as I'm concerned, is better laid out - especially on the LP title.
W.B.lbl 15th Sep 2023		78 RPM Steve Miller's Four Barons - Mixed Fruit / Rainy Weather Blues	Well, the far better-known Steve Miller was a wee lad when this was put out, so . . . certainly t'ain't him.
W.B.lbl 12th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album The Firesign Theatre - How Can You Be In Two Places At Once When You're Not Anywhere At All	Though not on here at this time, first-pressings from all plants were on the '2-eye' label, as on here.
W.B.lbl 9th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album William Bell - Bound To Happen	For some inexplicable reason, Monarch used the 45 template for the LP design (seen on {Images #3371338 & 3371339}). Compare to Columbia plants, whose Pitman variant of this can be seen over here.
W.B.lbl 8th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album The Joneses - Keepin' Up With The Joneses	{Images #3370839 & 3370840} is Columbia Terre Haute. Here you can see a Pitman variant.
W.B.lbl 8th Sep 2023		Vinyl Album Rita Coolidge - Nice Feelin'	Not yet on here is the Pitman variant; click here if you want to see it before someone puts it up here.
W.B.lbl 1st Sep 2023		78 RPM Kay Kyser - Praise The Lord And Pass The Ammunition! / I Came Here To Talk For Joe	The new {Images #3367045 & 3367046} was a Hollywood variant from an unknown printer who also handled Capitol from its inception this same year until 1950; {Images #1195254 & 1195256}, of course, is Bridgeport. Also notice, on the left of the Hollywood variant, how that blurb is laid out. Contrasts wildly with how Bridgeport did so.
