Comments

Equivalent release: Mercury MG-50222 (mono).

Although the Side-B has inscribed matrix (not imprinted matrix), this copy is definitely RCA Victor Indy pressing. Maybe Side-B's dead wax area was so narrow, which was a reason of inscribed matrix (too narrow to use imprinted matrix).

Personal Impression (and brief notes)

The sound is rather greater than many people have complained IMHO. On the other hand, all tracks are very popular ones and no-serious kinds.

Strictly Personal Rating (to what extent I could enjoy this album)

5 out of 10
