Comments

Equivalent release: Mercury MG-50227 (mono).

with original Mercury inner sleeve.

According to the actual listening to this copy (FR1 on both sides), this disc was NOT pressed at RCA Victor's Indianapolis plant but at Mercury/Philips' Richmond plant. Actually, both sides' dead wax has the plant indicator “I” with inscribed delete line over it. Probably the very first pressing was made at the Indy plant, but Mercury later re-used the stamper also at the Richmond plant.
