Notes

Isn't this the album that has spoken introductions between the songs? My copy is a later pressing with a different label design than the original issue.

moax429 26th Oct 2021		Anybody who has heard the stereo version of this album may be annoyed - as I was - by the "ping-pong" stereo effects (I had this on CD once). You'd be much better off going with the mono version (shame Atlantic didn't release that.pressing of The Bobby Darin Story on CD, much like Motown used all mono masters for their Ultimate Collections with the Supremes, Four Tops, etc. Motown even went so far as to explain the stereo versions of those hits by those stars were different versions).



Ulf Schöning 10th Aug 2021		I also have the black cover with yellow lables, and no signature on side two.



edlongus SUBS 17th Dec 2019		With props 2 cassotto74, larger label scans added.



whitewhale1965 4th Aug 2019		Did you know... "The master plates of Side Two of this LP were autographed by Bobby Darin. Hold Side Two to the light and look for his signature below the label." I have the yellow labels and there is nothing there.



cassotto74 29th Jul 2015		Today, for the first time, I've seen a mono record with a black sleeve. No signature in trail-off area.



cassotto74 20th Jul 2015		I've just added the front and back covers and the labels of: 1) The original mono pressing (white sleeve, yellow harp labels). 2) A stereo reissue with a white sleeve (and purple / brown bicolour labels).



cassotto74 10th Jul 2015		I've got two copies of this record: one mono with the original yellow harp label (1961), and one stereo with the reissue purple/brown label. Both have a white cover. I have seen (although I haven't got it) a stereo album with the yellow harp label and a white cover. As for black covers, I've always seen them in stereo, with different labels: the purple/brown one (1962-1968), the yellow one with multi-coloured logo shown above (1968-1979), a yellow one with a number of ATCO logos along the rim (1979-1982), and a white one with A-T-C-O written in green, blue, red and black (1982 on), ). I've even seen one black cover with the catalogue number at the bottom, not at the top, without the word 'Stereo'. All white covers have 'Mack the Knife' and 'Lazy River' in big print; black covers have only 'Mack the Knife'. So I'd say that both mono and stereo first editions (yellow harp label) had a white cover. Bobby Darin's official web site states that the album was reissued in 1972 with a black cover. If this is taken to mean that previous re-releases had a white cover, it would be consistent with my second LP (white cover, purple/brown label). But not with a purple/brown label inside a black cover (which I have seen). What I cannot really tell is whether this record was ever released in mono with a black cover. I've never seen such a thing.



BEATLEJOHN 28th Jun 2014		As far as I knew, the white covers were Mono (or Mono covers with a Stereo stamp/overprint added)...plus they had "Lazy River" in large type along with "Mack The Knife"....John (of course I find a black cover in mono record club maybe?



Bill Fick 28th Jun 2014		2 different front covers, one white, one black.
