Comments and Reviews


BenLPMarts 26th Oct 2024		BB & RW reviews 26 Feb 66 [BB back pg 68; RW pg 8]. First ARSA mention 18 Feb 66 on T40 KMEN in San Bernardino CA.



ajtharp 14th Mar 2016		Added original unaltered "toilet" cover and more variant label scans. 8 June 2016: Upgraded original scans.



checkm8 29th Nov 2015		Added the back cover to go with {Image #900823}.



W.B.lbl ● 29th Nov 2015		P.S. I'd also appreciate, if practicable, the back cover to go with {Image #900823}, given that it, like the front, would likewise be bereft of the "Gold Record Award" as on {Images #529337 & 898753} - and {Image #454380} which likewise didn't have it goes with the fourth-cover {Image #454379}.



W.B.lbl ● 29th Nov 2015		Because this LP was in the catalogue for many years - and with the changes in the cover over that period - it was necessary to re-juggle the label order, due to the numerous nuances: - {Images #900828 & 900831} - original 1965-66 "Dist. By..." rim print - {Images #529338 & 529339} - 1966-67 "A Subsidiary Of..." rim print - {Images #898754 & 898755} - 1967 "A Subsidiary Of ABC Records, Inc., New York, N.Y. 10019" rim print All of the above were East Coast, with label type from Queens Litho's Kaltman Press division (Queens also laid out the rim print for all three label blanks over which the label copy was printed). The rest were Monarch . . . - {Images #900874 & 900877} - 1967 "ABC Records, Inc." rim print variant unique to Monarch pressings - {Images #454382 & 454383} - Dunhill / ABC "rainbow box" label first adopted towards the end of 1967, but apparently didn't reach Monarch 'til some time in early 1968. It appears the fourth cover variant {Image #454379} - the one in black - would have been adopted at or around the time of the {Images #900874 & 900877} variant, from what was described by 'checkm8'. There was yet another variant, one in the 1966 "A Subsidiary Of..." rim print, pressed by Columbia with Pitman, NJ type and XSM matrix numbers without the said prefix. Someday when my computer is fixed up so I can scan again, I will provide same.



checkm8 29th Nov 2015		Added another set of label variant images that is a Monarch pressing with the following delta numbers: Side 1 - Δ8831 Side 2 - Δ8831-X This copy came in an album cover identical to the black cover shown in {Image # 454379}.



checkm8 29th Nov 2015		Added front cover variant and label variant images. The front cover variant is the same as {Image #529336}, except that it doesn't have the Gold Record Award seal. The rim text of the labels in {Images #900828 & 900831} have "DIST. BY A.B.C. - PARAMOUNT. . . " rather than "A SUBSIDIARY OF A.B.C. - PARAMOUNT. . . "



gregs45s SUBS 26th Nov 2015		"Loo Scroll";) I must admit until i got a copy of this i wasn't aware of the cover variations as regards the "Scroll" over the toilet;)(I've also just noticed a Diaper Ad at the top of the homepage;).I've added a possible colour variation of telew1947's image,"The Mamas And The Papa's" being a much darker brown,also added a slightly sharper back cover scan and a label variation. Matrix (image 898754) =DS-50006-A -5 and LW (hand etched). Matrix (image 898755) =DS 50006B-1C and Bell Sound (machine stamped) and LW (hand etched). My copy also has a "Sunrise" or "Sunset" generic Dunhill inner.



carryonsidney 9th Dec 2013		added here https://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/d50006



W.B.lbl ● 9th Dec 2013		As your copy's mono, very much yes.



carryonsidney 8th Dec 2013		I am unable to photograph at but mine is: Label - Dunhill D-50006 [no mention of ABC] Front sleeve is full shot of bathroom but with California// Monday// I call your name // scroll over toilet. - absolutely no mention front or back of RIAA - Album is a mono one. Should my copy be a new entry?



BEATLEJOHN 5th Dec 2013		The cover shown is the 4th variant....The first version has the group sitting in a tub with a toilet in the bottom right corner with no fan club info. on back...The second cover has a scroll covering the toilet with a blurb saying "includes California Dreamin" and fan club info on bottom back cover.....The Third has a scroll with the blurb "includes California Dreamin' , Monday, Monday and I Call Your Name" fan club info on back and RIAA Gold Record Award Seals on both front and back cover.....The final cover is the "Black" cover above ...John



carryonsidney 5th Dec 2013		I have just found my 1966 Mono dunhill copy D50006 - the front jacket is completely different to this - so surely D50006 needs removing here from the #cat info?



lorangrecords SUBS 9th Sep 2013		In my catalogue this ABC / Dunhill release was rel. in 1968. The Dunhill without any ABC on label was rel. in 1966.



W.B.lbl ● 9th Sep 2013		{Images #454382 & 454383} was a circa 1968-69 pressing, based on the rainbow/box design; it was pressed by Monarch, Los Angeles, with label typesetting from Alco Research & Engineering. The cover, definitely, would have been in place by this pressing.



jaimeeduardo 9th Sep 2013		Date does not appear on item. Appears to have been issued in mono/stereo versions based on catalogue nos.
