Edited one year agoI have a copy of this record, run-outs match this release (variant 4), label has deep groove, same text, spacing, font, etc on inner label. Outer ring of label has same 'STEREO <>FIDELITY', but has 'CBS' camera logo at 3,6 & 9 o'clock, black, in white boxes (all red background), stickered over the '6 eye' on black (I can see the edges of it underneath).
Sleeve has the bold '1' in the bottom corner on BC, but each instance of 'Columbia' on BC has been replaced (actually cut-out) and has 'CBS' pasted in place. FC also has 6 black and white CBS cameras pasted over 'Columbia' along top.
Anyone seen this on a release before? Kinda curious as to why they'd go to the trouble.
