Item Description

2 x Vinyl, , C1,SRC,Gatefold
LP Compilation Reissue Stereo

1988-92 Purple Capitol label re-issue, first "C1" series.

This is the 1988 re-issue, the first time this album was issued a new catalog # in the US (other than colored vinyl).

Old masters were still being used for this, as remnants of the old matrix # SKBO-1/2/3/4-3403 are scratched out in the run-outs.

This was pressed at Specialty Records Corporation, Los Angeles, one of the plants that Capitol used at the time after they closed their own plants. It's identified in the matrix by a large S with small R and C inside the S. (See photo)

To differentiate from previous pressings:
-Back cover now has a barcode and new catalog in the upper right.
-New catalog # C1-90435 on upper left front, upper right back, spine.
-Has Capitol oval and different EMI box logos on the bottom back.
-Has Capitol oval logo at top back cover
-A title sticker was attached to shrink wrap on the back with all song titles (see photo)
