Item Description

Vinyl, , Pitman Pressing
LP Album Stereo

Very similar to release [r14112306], but Plated At - [l586613]

[l447694] pressing as evidenced by the stamped “P” and etched“54” in the runout groove as well as a 2.5” sized pressing ring on the labels.

The cover fabricator number, on the back of the sleeve is 3, which is [l1093183]. On jacket rear, A1 spelled "Roll Over, Beethoven" and B3 "Please Mr. Postman".

Stereo Label Variation: Corrected song title of 3rd revised stereo label without running time on “I Call Your Name” (B2). Mono labels were not printed with this variation. (CAP2080.SR3A, SPIZER).

The initial 1st run labels for this LP (which are most commonly found) do not have the running times for "Long Tall Sally" or "I Call Your Name" on Side 2. But after Capitol received the tapes for these two tracks, the company revised the label copy by adding the times for the two songs.

But then when the BMI credit replaced the ASCAP credit for the song "I Call Your Name", Capitol once again revised its label copy - but only on the stereo labels. The printer for the East Coast stereo label not only changed ASCAP to BMI after "I Call Your Name", but also dropped the running time for the song. Thus, this ultra-rare stereo variation has the time for "Long Tall Sally" - but not "I Call Your Name". The timing for "You Can't Do That" is the correct 2:33. This label variation has black rainbow labels WITHOUT the "subsidiary" text.

Tracks:
A1: "Roll Over, Beethoven" on sleeve, "Roll Over Beethoven" on labels.
A5: "Money" on sleeve, "Money (That's What I Want)" on labels.
B3: "Please Mr. Postman" on sleeve, "Please Mister Postman" on labels.
