| | Those comments are all well and good...but did you know that this release is exactly the same as this one except for one extra track - Time After Time. |

| | As with many of my comments, I'm speculating the purposes behind how they set their prefixes. Interesting though with Gene Pitney, In Australia his records(singles mainly) first showed up on CBS-Coronet, which was made and distributed by Australian Record Company. Then, until about 1964 or 1965 he was on United Artists, which, at the time was also handled by ARC. About 1965 he was put onto the CBS label here(almost coinciding with the time ARC sold the UA rights to Festival). Then, about 1966 his run of hits stalled in Australia though he was still highly popular in Britain where EMI were issuing his records, first on United Artists, then from 1964 onwards on Stateside. I don't know when the Stateside run finished. Perhaps I'll use the search facility to find that question's answer(on 45Ca.). |

...good sleuthing, but the SSL prefix was used for some stereo issues, see SSL 10183 by Gene Pitney from 1966.
A view of the rear of album sleeve clearly shows the printers ID and SL 10183 for mono and SSL 10183 for stereo issues.
The front sleeve of that Gene Pitney album does carry a stereo print legend.......presumably the same mono print legend on the mono issue. |

| | Actually, RC, it isn't a follow-up to any of her Motown stuff because she'd left Motown and signed with 20th Century Fox when she recorded this album. And by the time this LP was issued, EMI would've already launched the Tamla/Motown label for the British, Euro and Australia/NZ markets. |

| | Actually, Yankeedisc, if the SSL prefix was used it might've been to refer to the two syllables of the label name "Stateside with theL at the end to denote LP, not necessarily stereo. |

| | .....thanks to gregs78s for adding this entry, which I also have a copy of.
I wondered if it was ever issued in stereo, but I just checked over on Discogs, and a kind soul has posted a scan of the rear of the album sleeve, which when enlarged you can read at the bottom "65 10 Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending. SL 10133"
The 65 10 equates to October 1965, which I would take to be the release date of the album, and the printers ID is printed onto one of the flip-back "ears" on the laminated colour front sheet, with the separate monochrome rear sheet then glued together to form the patented (eventually) 2-part item. The lack of a stereo number on the flipback would confirm to me that there was no such issue. If issued in UK there would have been an SSL prefix (SSL 10133) printed next to the mono catalogue number.
It was however issued in US as a stereo release. on 20th Century Fox Records – TFS 4171, plus mono TFM 3171. |
