Comments and Reviews


C4sp3r 3rd Aug 2023		After doing a bit of digging on Discogs it seems that no truly "1st run pressing" mono edition has turned up with the toilet visible on the cover? I found this: https://www.discogs.com/release/10368014-The-Mamas-And-The-Papas-If-You-Can-Believe-Your-Eyes-And-Ears Which appears to be a reissue because of the "ABC Records, Inc." credit on the labels, as ABC Records was established in the late months of 1966/1967 at the absolute earliest.



SeverlyWarpedRecord 6th Feb 2022		Are the uncensored copies really that valuable/rare? Most copies I’ve seen aren’t censored



TheDroid 27th Sep 2018		Added cleaner back cover image with no Gold Record Award stamp. Also added third label variant pressed by Monarch Records. The deltas for this are: Side One Δ 8792 Side Two Δ 8792-X.



Bgray1 21st Aug 2017		Added front cover without the Gold Record Award stamp.



W.B.lbl ● 26th Feb 2016		Because Dunhill started out "dist. by A.B.C.-Paramount," {Images #983339 & 983340} should therefore precede the "A Subsidiary of A.B.C.-Paramount..." {Images #500911 & 500912} in sequential order. (Mod. comment: images re-ordered)



55bluesman 20th Feb 2016		added label variation (dist. by ABC-Paramount.......)



Vinyl Fan 18th Feb 2014		In the deadwax there are the matrix #'s114573 and 114574 as you indicated in previous comment, but with a 1D A side 1C B side along with an M figure.



W.B.lbl ● 18th Feb 2014		{Images #500911 & 500912} also bears label typesetting from Columbia Records' Pitman, NJ plant (though if the 1.25" diameter pressing ring is of any indication, they would have farmed this particular pressing out to MGM Records' Bloomfield, NJ plant - would their blocky stamped 'S' have been within the deadwax?). The matrix numbers - 114573 and 114574 - are Columbia-derived, with only the XLP prefix missing.



Vinyl Fan 17th Feb 2014		Added label images for this record fmc. I believe this is an early reissue label because the paper stock is flat and not shiny like originals. The language on the rim is different from originals.
