Comments and Reviews


RecordDragon 7th Feb 2021



PhilMH 5th Oct 2019		The black label design is the first, as that shows (C) 1972 at the label circumference at the bottom, whereas the rainbow design shows (C) 1973; copyright years shown on the various MCA label designs are copyrights for the designs.



W.B.lbl 5th Oct 2019		One of them; they definitely had different catalogue series for various prices and configurations. Neil Diamond's Hot August Night was MCA2-8000, thus the first in that series of two-record sets in a certain price. This would have been the first in the MCA-2100 series; the first in the MCA-300 series (presumably $1.00 lower than MCA-2100's) was Entertainer Of The Year by Loretta Lynn (MCA-300, natch'), while MCA2-10000 was a repackaging of the Jesus Christ Superstar double album (originally Decca DXSA 7206). Presumably, January-February 1973 was when the "black rainbow" label was first introduced, thus plain black labels of both LP and 45 would have been first.



Eric Stephens 5th Oct 2019		Is this the first release on the new MCA? If so, is the black label variant the first edition (before MCA established the rainbow design)?



Cameron McMenemy 6th Jan 2018		I own the Black label varient.



BEATLEJOHN 29th Aug 2017		Added inner gatefold images, 12 page booklet and Capitol Record Club labels (which aside from the catalogue number change on the labels, the cover and booklet are the same as the standard issue with no number changes/additions)...John Mod Edit: Labels moved to new entry.



TheDroid 21st Aug 2016		Added the missing side two label to match up with image #653716 and complete that set.



W.B.lbl 22nd Jan 2015		I have the variant as exemplified by {Image #653716}.
