W.B.lbl ● 12th Jan 2013		The label variant {Images #415539 & 415540} was from the ill-fated Kings Mills, OH plant which operated from 1946 to not long after this was released; Columbia closed it just before introducing the "Lp" record. Kings Mills' pressings differed from Bridgeport's in that while many of the same label fonts were used, quite a few were missing: - 8 (and possibly 10) point Erbar Bold Condensed - 10 point Gothic Condensed No. 1 - 14 point Gothic Condensed No. 1 (numerals) In addition, the matrix number was set in 7 point No. 1 while Bridgeport used 7 point Gothic No. 4. After Kings Mills closed, it would be 26 more years before another Columbia plant approximated the fonts of the East Coast plant, when Terre Haute, IN, starting in the latter half of 1974, added a group of phototypesetting fonts that had been used at the Pitman, NJ plant beginning in late June 1974 (and Santa Maria, CA got the same package of typefaces starting in September 1977).
