 Added link to Talking Machine World as requested, and made the meanwhile added "gold band" labels the main images.

My assumption of an earlier release than the catalog month (July 1923) is supported by an extra Columbia advert for this record in the same TMW June issue, on page 163 (uploaded here).

 The previous small uncropped A-side label image has been replaced by a considerably better one, and the B-side label has been added. Like the initially uploaded image, however, these label images do not originate from the first issue of the record, which actually had a blue "gold band" label like on the YouTube video linked here. The "flag" label, like the labels uploaded here, was introduced only later in 1923 (it ran until 1925).
