Disc: (1977) Black label, dog near top. (Does not exist)

This record does not exist. I have seen platinum3 and gold4 plated display records available online and in at least two cases this 1977 label has presented itself. In both cases, side A. This is here as an interesting side note. There is no logical reason for this label to exist as at this time there only existed at this time ACL-7007 Frankie and Johnny on the Pickwick label and APL1-2559 available in Canada on a tan label.

Cover Back: RE upper right corner for both Monaural and Stereo.

The RE on back is not documented anywhere. I have suspected to exist and this copy turned up after 9 years of looking in November 2021. This is an extremely rare transitional cover. Two more covers were identified without the RE on front, September 2022. What makes this so interesting is that RE was appended to both the Mono and Stereo catalog numbers to reflect the change for Ain’t That Loving You Baby*. That song had been reprocessed for stereo. Since there was no reissue of Mono and since Mono wouldn’t need that asterisks the cover is incorrect. It is also interesting that the *This selection has been electronically reprocessed for stereo from the original monaural recording. was simplified to the more common standard of *Stereo effect reprocessed from monophonic on the RE2 cover. The no-RE front cover has been found with the Indianapolis and Hollywood non-flexible vinyl pressings. The RE front cover was found with the non-flexible Rockaway pressing. All three finds contain the 21-112-1 40D (6/1968) insert sleeve. One find, has November 13, 1970 written on the cover, which tilted the date of issue to 1970.

The labels are reminiscent of the original 1970 release with significant differences. The original labels number each side rather than letters for each side.

The copyright on the bottom of the labels are 1986 RCA/ARIOLA INTERNATIONAL.
