Comments and Reviews

Lovinda 18th Jul 2020		This is a special product, released without cat. number, sponsored by Goodyear. I think the matrix numbers should be removed from cat. number area.
Trainman 27th Nov 2014		I did find two other albums from the same era "Remember How Great" volumes 1 and 2. Both are also "Columbia Record productions, also no catalog number, and the round eye logo) https://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/nc308109us' https://www.45worlds.com/vinyl/album/nc089253us
BEATLEJOHN 27th Nov 2014		What's also odd is the round "Eye" logo...(not being in a square box)....John
Trainman 27th Nov 2014		Interesting how an album "Created exclusively For Goodyear" can exist with copies that were NOT "Goodyear". Also curious that there is no catalog number for the disc as a whole Also, while the disc of the "non-Goodyear" release says "Columbia Record Productions", the sleeve does say "Columbia Special Products" There's got to be a story behind this
