Ok, Charlie 45 ... Time for an update! The "target" label with the odd cat# is... Drum roll please.. a Capitol record club pressing from 1968.. these were contract pressings, and in fact, just may have been pressed by MCA at Pinkneyville, if there is a hand written "2" in the deadwax.

I've also seen a copy with a yellow variation of Capitol's infamous orange label, cat# SM-357, with no mention of it being part of the Star Line. This was from 1972.

Unless these tracks were from the 1961 recordings for the LP box set The Nat King Cole Story, SWCL-1613, none of these recordings have Ralph Carmichael conducting the orchestra... See the listing for H-357 "Unforgettable" 10 inch LP for the particulars.

Ok... The original mono non Star Line LP version was available from 1954 through 1962 with the various Capitol labels the company used between those years. In '62, with the advent of this Duophonic version, the mono LP was also given the Star Line moniker, even though the LP itself wasn't changed at all... Even kept the old T-357 catalog number. Since the cat # is the same as the original "Unforgettable" LP, it is my belief that it should be counted as a repress of the original mono LP.
