W.B.lbl ● 22nd Jan 2025		Vinyl Album Deep Purple - The Book Of Taliesyn (1968)	{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		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Festival Of Light Classical Music (1960)	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 (1969)	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 (1962)	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.
W.B.lbl ● 12th Jan 2025		Vinyl Album Paul Robeson - Spirituals (1949)	Although the grey-label {Images #1956263 & 1956264} looks like 1961, judging from the pressing ring, but also it was before 'CBS' was added between 'COLUMBIA' and 'MASTERWORKS' on the top logohead.
W.B.lbl ● 19th Dec 2024		Vinyl Album Olivia Newton-John - Music Makes My Day (1974)	And the back cover {Image #794318} photo would be used as the front cover for her 1974 U.S. MCA Lp If You Love Me, Let Me Know.
W.B.lbl ● 7th Dec 2024		Vinyl Album The DeFranco Family Featuring Tony DeFranco - Save The Last Dance For Me (1974)	Added Pitman variant, finally.
W.B.lbl ● 2nd Dec 2024		Vinyl Album Vaughn Meader - Have Some Nuts!!! (1963)	I presume just before that day in Dallas. Alas, it turned out to be too little, too late.
W.B.lbl ● 30th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album Hal Holbrook - Mark Twain Tonight	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.
W.B.lbl ● 27th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Two Hearts In 3/4 Time (1969)	Shouldn't the mono release be put in a separate entry?
W.B.lbl ● 24th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album The Rev. Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. - In Search Of Freedom (1968)	Funny that, in the type department, {Images #3722313 & 3722314} was from Columbia Pitman. I'm grateful, don't get me wrong, but for something that was put out more as a public service . . .
W.B.lbl ● 18th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album Frampton's Camel - Frampton's Camel (1973)	{Images #3720224 & 3720225} is Columbia Terre Haute. A Columbia Pitman variant also exists.
W.B.lbl ● 16th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album Jackie Lomax - Is This What You Want? (1969)	Notice, in the credits, only one Beatle was NOT involved: John Lennon.
W.B.lbl ● 15th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album The Ramsey Lewis Trio + Jean DuShon - You Better Believe Me (1965)	Funny, that was just duly changed.
W.B.lbl ● 14th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Walt Disney Presents The Original Soundtrack Of "Mary Poppins" (1964)	RCA had a special cat. # for this, suggesting that their issue was for customers of their Record Club.
W.B.lbl ● 7th Nov 2024		Vinyl Album "Big" Tiny Little - Honky Tonk Piano (1959)	A4 was for years the theme of The Joe Franklin Show on WOR-TV (Channel 9) in New York.
W.B.lbl ● 30th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Bobby Sherman - Bobby Sherman's Greatest Hits Volume 1 (1972)	Where was {Images #2383117 & 2383118} pressed, is my question. I could tell somewhat that Columbia Terre Haute pressed {Images #514168 & 514169} and Pitman {Images #1909664 & 1909665}. I also wonder if the affected plant that printed on the yellow label didn't have the blanks the other plants had.
W.B.lbl ● 29th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Morgana King - New Beginnings... (1973)	A variant with Columbia Pitman typesetting exists.
W.B.lbl ● 27th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Tyrone Davis - Without You In My Life (1972)	Also came in a Columbia Pitman label typesetting variant.
W.B.lbl ● 14th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album The Beatles - Let It Be (1970)	That would've been on the second run of pressings as on {Image #451696}.
W.B.lbl ● 10th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Glenn Miller And His Orchestra - Glenn Miller (1969)	What's more, a true "reissue" with said earlier design would have had the label colored tan rather than orange.
W.B.lbl ● 4th Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Glenn Miller And His Orchestra - Glenn Miller (1969)	The orange-label {Images #1618694, 1618696, 1618698 & 1618699} would have been on first-release; it would only qualify as a "reissue" if the paper were uncoated finish rather than coated as it was when this first came out in '69. The "black label, dog near top" as on {Images #1618689, 1618690, 1618691 & 1618692} was first inaugurated in the Summer of 1976, and thus pressed after that.
W.B.lbl ● 3rd Oct 2024		Vinyl Album Mongo Santamaria - El Pussy Cat (1965)	The {Image #3687990} cover surely dates to 1967, compared to how the cover of the mono entry was laid out.
W.B.lbl ● 3rd Oct 2024		Vinyl Album B. J. Thomas - Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head (1969)	Very likely Keel Mfg. It no doubt preceded the {Images #2270121 & 2270122} variant.
W.B.lbl ● 30th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Various Artists - Chart Action 83 (1983)	By the deadwax, what pressing plant would be '80'?
W.B.lbl ● 22nd Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Dick Dale And His Del-Tones - Summer Surf (1964)	There is also a Scranton variant of this LP and accompanying 45.
W.B.lbl ● 16th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Dennis Yost And The Classics IV - Stormy (1970)	And, by its demise in 1971, reissues of United Artists material as well (there was a Bobby Goldsboro LP issued on Sunset that year).
W.B.lbl ● 16th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album Allan Sherman - Songs For Swingin' Livers Only (1964)	Based on the history of Warner Bros. label designs, the grey-label {Images #2643375 & 2643376} should go in order before the gold-label {Images #1524741 & 1524742}.
W.B.lbl ● 8th Sep 2024		Vinyl Album [no artist listed] - Authentic Sound Effects (1964)	Another track on this that became famous would be Track B19, "Cash Register, Modern Type" that would be heard at the very start of Pink Floyd's "Money" from their 1973 album The Dark Side Of The Moon.
W.B.lbl ● 24th Aug 2024		Vinyl Album Myra Hess - Schumann: Concerto In A Minor	It was this label design that was the impetus for the December 1953 redesign of the LP, 45 and 78 labels for RCA Victor that were inaugurated via a few January 1954 LP's and the Perry Como single "Wanted."
