Break-In Master 28th Aug 2018		Now, I have a copy of the mid `60's pressing with the new cover. Side one looks like there's a kind of dot matrix looking thing stamped into it that is VERY faint, so, it LOOKS like is says "S (either H, M or W, I can't make it out) X7. Side two has a faint dot matrix A next to a very large hand etched "14". Other than that, there's only the Columbia master/matrix numbers stamped into it. It doesn't look at al like a Capitol pressing.



checkm8 11th Nov 2017		Added another set of cover and label variant images. Also added additional catalog numbers PC 8021 and C 8021. Based on the large numerals for the side numbers on the labels and the C 8021 catalog number, my guess is that this copy was released 1985 or later.



checkm8 11th Nov 2017		Added label variant images identical to label {Images # 508724 & 508725}, with the exception that NONBREAKABLE is not printed below the catalog number and the pressing ring is larger. This copy came with a cover identical to the original cover as shown in cover {Images # 508721 & 508723}. The matrix numbers stamped in the runout are as follows: Side 1: XSM-44076-1DH Side 2: XSM-44077-1FG



checkm8 11th Nov 2017		Added label variant images tor the 1963-1970 Stereo "360 Sound" label.



checkm8 11th Nov 2017		Added cover and label variant images tor the 1962-1970 Stereo "360 Sound" labels. Back Cover {Image # 1496766} and back cover {Image # 508723} are the same except for the top, right and bottom edges. The glued on back cover sheet is slightly smaller than the cover dimensions such that the wrap around from the front cover image is visible on the top, right, and bottom edges of the back cover. The back cover for the 6-eye labels {Images # 1496318 & 1496319} has a black top edge, white right edge (from the white spine) and blue-gray bottom edge due to the same cover construction.



checkm8 11th Nov 2017		Added label variant images (1958-1962 6-eye label).



Break-In Master 10th Nov 2017		I have two `70's pressings. Neither has anything but the matrix numbers, although one has a T on both sides. That one has the matrix suffix 2D on both sides. The other has 1DK on side 1 and 1DF on side 2.



Le Parolier 12th Mar 2014		There is something like an anvil... yes.



W.B.lbl 12th Mar 2014		I mean, would there be an 'anvil / lathe' symbol, or 'IAM' in a triangle, or . . .



Le Parolier 11th Mar 2014		The marking is : PN - XSM 44077-IFH



W.B.lbl 10th Mar 2014		{Images #508724 & 508725} looks like a 1970's pressing from either one of Capitol's plants or, if from c.1978, North American Music Industries (NAMI) of Scranton, PA. What deadwax markings would have been on this copy?
