Dedicated record collector since 1981; partial towards label variants either from or typeset by Columbia Records' pressing plants in Bridgeport, CT (pre-1964) and Pitman, NJ (1964-86). Also prefer East Coast pressings in general, from RCA Custom in Rockaway, NJ (1954-73), Decca/MCA in Gloversville, NY, Capitol in Scranton, PA, etc.

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.

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.

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.
