Release notes

A “New Orthophonic” high fidelity recording on front of jacket and to the right side of the label under the side number. “Nipper” the dog on black labels.

Printed in U.S.A.

Criteria for distinction to other first pressings: look at the order of “Tony Scott’s Orchestra and Chorus” and “with Millard Thomas, Guitar” on both labels. This version is similar to but has different credits at the bottom of the label on Side A.
