The Four Seasons - The Four Seasons Story		Billboard issue of Apr 27, 1985, stated the Four Seasons Partnership (Bob Gaudio and Frankie Valli) was suing Quality Records for continuing to manufacture copies of this album, even though their contract was no longer valid. Apparently Private Stock Records had closed by then.

The Four Seasons - Four Seasons		This is an excellent comp album, featuring all the big Vee Jay hits in their original mono single versions. The pressing quality is better than the typical Vee Jay USA pressings. The date maybe suspect as by 1966 Vee Jay was out of business. This does include the January 1964 hit Stay not on the official Vee Jay "Golden Hits" 1963 album. That indicates the album was probably issued after "Golden Hits."

Tommy Roe, Bobby Rydell, Ray Stevens - The Young Lovers		Design initially used a black label for mono and original 1962 issues of this album used that, but after 1965 and later Design used the red label shown for mono and stereo releases. This indicates the album was repressed throughout the 60s probably based on Tommy Roe's continued success.

The 4 Seasons - The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette		The Genuine Imitation Life was such a disaster on many fronts, and Philips got the word from record dealers that the cover was so poor and did not indicate it was a "4 Seasons" record. One of it's biggest selling points was basically hidden.
So Philips started putting clear stickers saying "The 4 Seasons" in bright red letters. These are really rare, as the stickers were affixed to the actual album before the plastic wrap. I doubt if there was more than one pressing as the album sold so poor. Therefore if the stickers were affixed after the LP was in shops..very few were probably done. Rhino rectified the situation partly by including a full color portrait of the group on their reissue. Maybe in 1968/1969 they should have had a feature on the front cover saying "The 4 Seasons in jail" and have a picture of them behind bars on the cover.

The Bob Crewe Orchestra - The Bob Crewe Orchestra Plays The 4 Seasons' Hits		℗ 1967 on labels, but product probably from 1964.

The album was recorded about October 1964 at the Pye and Olympic Studios with a 40 piece orchestra. Initially it was issued as a 12 song album on Philips in the United States. When Bob Crewe became famous with the "Music To Watch Girls By" (Pepsi Theme) Philips reissued the album in the USA with 10 tracks, but in the UK the 12 track album was issued in 1967.
