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.

W.B.lbl 22nd Jan 2025		Vinyl Album Deep Purple - The Book Of Taliesyn	{Images #2681823 & 2681825} would have been pressed after Bill Cosby bailed out of the Tetragrammaton partnership. Both that and {Images #982703 & 982704} had label typesetting from Columbia Pitman.
W.B.lbl 19th Jan 2025		78 RPM 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.
W.B.lbl 19th Jan 2025		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Festival Of Light Classical Music	Given the L7OP- prefix, shouldn't this release be 1960? Also, this is a 12-record set.
W.B.lbl 17th Jan 2025		Vinyl Album Peter Sarstedt - As Though It Were A Movie	Sounds like it's contingent on which pressing plant turned out which copy that had which label. {Images #1897117 & 1897118} was pressed by All Disc in Roselle, NJ, with Progressive Label & Litho type - and they were apparently the ones that turned out the World Pacific Jazz copies. Sounds like there was a blurring of what was what, once Pacific Jazz turned into World Pacific Jazz after the label designs were revamped to mention Liberty/UA, Inc., in the rim print.
W.B.lbl 16th Jan 2025		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Great Operettas	Based on the matrix numbers, the original release would have been 1962; but no doubt this was in the active catalogue for years and years.
