| | ...weeellll, I did mention often, so I rest the case for the defence, m'lud (m'lady)....
I have just picked up randomly from a pile of LPs "Wings - Venus And Mars" and mention the full spine wording/listing on this gate fold US issue album, on Capitol records, so merely an example......
WINGS • VENUS AND MARS ----------------------------------------- (0698) SMAS-11419 - $6.98, then, a lot of money in 1975.....
I may just enter in Notes in future the spine information, as I am sure it can be of use to archivists. Over on Discogs, some submitters swear that the dollar code is actually part of the catalogue number, and are immovable on the subject. |

| | "From where does the KC prefix come.?"
KC as a prefix indicates a Columbia Group price code in force at time of pressing, which would have been $6.98 retail, to the best of my knowledge. It would have been replaced by JC prefix, to indicate $7.98 retail, and the codes 0598, 0698 or 0798 (to indicate dollar retail) often are visible on the spines of Columbia and group albums, although all those codes were in use in 1970s up to about 1981, when a new price code would probably have been used.
Other groups of Columbia, such as Epic used, KE, JE prefix codes, Tappan Zee and Philadelphia International used KZ, JZ and FZ, and so on and so forth. |

| | It is not on the label, but on the cover, right above the Columbia logo.
I supply all formats of the cat# I can find on any releases I submit (cover, spine, labels), trying to avoid matrix#s where I can make them out (e.g. if theres a difference bewteen sides....)

| | It would've been on original copies. If you look at these labels {Images #452262 & 452263}, you'll see that, as 'C 32710', it shifts slightly rightward in relation to the 'STEREO' line below, hence it looks like the 'K' was markered out from the label copy film used for the offset printing. |
