Comments and Reviews

han enderman 19th Jan 2024		De 7098 - Images of the corrected version and a later block label pressing added (from Roger Misiewicz collection). Evidently "Smith" on the rare first printing was an error (I have not seen another copy, but the misspelling is mentioned in BGR), and the later labels say "Slim".
fixbutte 5th Feb 2020		Artist credit "Bumble Bee Smith" seems to be a spelling error. Labels of this record with the correct name Bumble Bee Slim exist (a pseudonym of Amos Easton anyway), see there.
