 The Genuine Imitation Life was such a disaster on many fronts, and Philips got the word from record dealers that the cover was so poor and did not indicate it was a "4 Seasons" record. One of it's biggest selling points was basically hidden.
So Philips started putting clear stickers saying "The 4 Seasons" in bright red letters. These are really rare, as the stickers were affixed to the actual album before the plastic wrap. I doubt if there was more than one pressing as the album sold so poor. Therefore if the stickers were affixed after the LP was in shops..very few were probably done. Rhino rectified the situation partly by including a full color portrait of the group on their reissue. Maybe in 1968/1969 they should have had a feature on the front cover saying "The 4 Seasons in jail" and have a picture of them behind bars on the cover.
