Common Production Notes


Remarks

  • Apart from the fact, that different issues of this promo exist, it is remarkable
that all these items are based on two different test pressings:
- Side A was pressed explicitly for this purpose by Specialty Records, while
- Side B was taken from the test pressing of the A-Side for the official 12" single.
  • The labels and runouts of the different issues vary depending on the various pressings, see below.
