Comments and Reviews

W.B.lbl ● 11th May 2016		It's not just the UPC - the 'CBS Masterworks' label design dates to about 1979. The top text above the spindle hole is also a dead giveaway - the use of phototypesetting Trade Gothic Bold throughout (courtesy the Mergenthaler Linotype VIP library), and the pressing may be Santa Maria if based on the running times below which look like 7 point VariTyper Sans Serif Bold.
TheDroid 11th May 2016		You are correct sir. At first I thought this was the 1966 repressing, mistakenly missing that the catalog number had not changed from the 1959 release. And upon further review, this is undoubtedly even a later repressing as it has a UPC number on the back cover! I will ask for the date to be corrected.
W.B.lbl ● 11th May 2016		Ahem . . . this release originally came out in 1959, and was in the catalogue for decades. First-pressings would have been on the 'six-eye' label with 'Stereo <-> Fidelity' on top, and bluish cold grey color, and 'NONBREAKABLE' above the matrix numbers on the center labels.
