Notes
Important identifiers:Runout: BN-LP-1521-A 9M (etched) RVG (etched)
Back cover: BLP-1521/NO STEREO
All of this suggests that is an original Liberty pressing (1966-70) with few interesting differences vs other releases:
- a large central pressing ring which is a sign of a different pressing plant vs usual ones (All-Disc NJ, Research Craft LA, Keel Hauppauge). The name of the fourth plant is unknow but it could be the same which pressed the VeeJay records (and based in Nashville)
- the "9M" in the runout confirms that an original Van Gelder metal stamper was used (but of course no "P" since it hasn't been pressed by Plastylite)
- no plant identifier in the runout
