Notes (copied directly from source: W.B.) for label with the alternate "Stuck Inside Of Mobile With The" song title:
"It was definitely pressed between October 1966 and January 1967. Still uncoated stock, but apparently Columbia switched printers that handled the production of label blanks (to Queens Litho, it looks like, as they were listed among the label's vendors in a spread they put out in the Aug. 5, 1972 issue of Billboard - and I've become particularly attuned to their printing jobs, especially of post-1967 label blanks). Looks like either 70 lb. Smooth or 70 lb. Offset (both uncoated), but the red (almost tomato-ish) is especially deep for uncoated paper. The other is the switcheroo of the song title on B2, with the alignment reminiscent of what was on the old "spires" labels of 1959-62 Capitol LP's - or some Warner/Reprise LP's. (However, as it says Santa Maria pressed this, likely the label blanks were printed by Bert-Co.)"
