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.
Yet when "Jingle Bells" as a stand-alone single was reissued starting in late 1971 by RCA in the U.S. and Canada, UK Pye regrettably did not follow suit.
Ahem . . . it was issued both in mono and stereo in 1959. The first pressings would have had the 'six eye' design, as on here. Copies also exist on both forms of two-eye labels (pre- and post-1965) and the 1970-80 'ring around Columbia' Masterworks variant design.
