Notes

Stereo LP mastered with the Haeco-CSG System making the recording sound bad. It took years to extract better audio from these songs. Produced by Bones Howe, Curt Boetticher, Jerry Yester, and The Association. Missing a few of their charted singles.

Comments and Reviews


Mr. Lobbers ● 17th Jun 2023		No "Pandora's Golden Heebie Jeebies" on here. I guess it was out-of-date by 1968.



DexterMiller 18th Apr 2019		The reel to reel tape (as well as also, possibly, the 4-track Muntz cartridge) DOES NOT HAVE THE HAECO-CSG PROCESSING on the masters for them. So, obviously, different sources DID EXIST at the time this album was released (per other formats). A bootleg CDR made from the 7 1/2ips Magtec reel would beat any official reissued copy out there.



checkm8 11th Oct 2017		Added another set of label variants with covers that are also variants (Manufactured by Columbia House).



ppint. 6th Feb 2017		pye records produced a mono, as well as a stereo uk version of this album: did warner-seven arts not do so - or has it merely not yet turned up here?



Vinyl Fan 7th Aug 2015		Added green WB Shield label scans from my collection.



W.B.lbl 5th Aug 2015		The cover did indeed retain the 'W7' logo for as long as the LP / vinyl version was in print. Missing amongst the label variants was the green "WB shield" label, the original 1973 Burbank / palms label with 'STEREO' still below the label copy but above the rim print, and Columbia-pressed 1975 Burbank / palms label with rim print in unfutzed Helvetica, and label address zip code given as 91505 rather than 91510. Why they didn't bother updating the logo on the cover, I can't say. For years I had a pressing from 1969 whereby it had been subcontracted to a Nashville area pressing plant with 1.390625" diameter pressing ring (during that year, Columbia subcontracted much of their LP pressings not only for themselves but also their custom clients to MGM in Bloomfield, NJ; RCA in Rockaway, NJ and possibly also Indianapolis, IN; and Mercury Record Mfg. [the future PRC] in Richmond, IN - very likely due to an IBEW [International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers] strike against Columbia studios that spring which pressing plant employees may well have honored, on top of the huge demand for such LP's as Blood, Sweat & Tears, Bob Dylan's Nashville Skyline, Johnny Cash At San Quentin and Santana (I)). My main pressing today, alas, is a regular Columbia with their standard 2.703125" ring.



ppint. 5th Aug 2015		checkm8: thanks. the original is what i have come to think of as the normal, standard us label lp cover construction and the reissue, close to the standard sixties' (& seventies') uk label lp sleeve. i was surprised that they retained the (W7) logo so long, though - a decade after the "WB shield" logo (upon (various shades of) orange or green field) label was again available & in use, no?



checkm8 4th Aug 2015		The cover is identical. The W7 logo is on both the front and back cover. "1767" is underneath the logo on the front cover and "WS 1767" is underneath the logo on the back cover, as on the original cover. The cover art is also identical. I have both covers, and out of curiosity, compared the two covers. Although the images, graphics and text are identical, the construction of the two covers is different. The original is thicker cardboard, with the back cover printed on paper and glued onto the back of the cover. The dimensions of the glued on paper is 3/8" smaller than the dimensions of the cover on the top, bottom and left (spine) sides of the back cover. The top and bottom of the front cover image are therefore visible on the top and bottom 3/8" on the back cover, respectively. The 3/8" on the left side of the back cover next to the spine is white. The re-issue cover (artwork and text) appears to be printed directly onto thinner cardboard in one piece. The front part of the cover has 1/4" tabs that are folded over, and the back part of the cover is folded over at the spine and glued to the tabs.



ppint. 4th Aug 2015		checkm8: ymts the cover art & most of the typography's the same - or did they keep the (W7) glyph on the covers of that reissue, instead of blanking it out with something/the original cover art got replaced with a patch/new film was made to print from?



checkm8 4th Aug 2015		Added label images for the re-issue on the 1980's Warner Brothers label. The cover is the same as {Image #598170 and #598172}.



W.B.lbl 8th Mar 2015		The {Images #689107 & 689108} Burbank variant would have been a Capitol pressing, using the same Columbia Santa Maria label fonts (except for the absence of the "STEREO" at bottom) as on the original W-7 {Images #598174 & 598176}.



TheDroid 8th Mar 2015		Added the later Burbank Warner label images. This album remained in print for quite a long time.
