Comments and Reviews


edlongus SUBS 30th May 2022		With humble respect 2 coveboy, complete left/right gatefold scans added, with slightly more focused scan of Dr. Demento's liner notes.



coveboy 2nd Feb 2015		added front and back of this album. on the back it states it is from 1971 on the bottom



PhilMH SUBS 13th Dec 2014		The yellow labels uploaded by coveboy are 1975 or so, as they have the Warner Communications blurb on the label as well as the Rockefeller Plaza address.



PhilMH SUBS 30th Jan 2014		This grey(?) Atco label came into use in late 1978, judging by the singles labels in 45cat.com. The earlier pressings would have had the yellow Atco label with the logo on the left-hand side.



lorangrecords SUBS 29th Jan 2014



lorangrecords SUBS 29th Jan 2014		SP on label and runout, means pressed by Specialty I believe. The PR is probably Presswell.



lorangrecords SUBS 29th Jan 2014		Can A: 0-4 SM 1-2. B: 0-5 SM 1-3 mean that Columbia Records pressing plant in Santa Maria was used in one way or another?
