packaged in a red title sleeve. The sleeve has the same design as the "My Bonnie" sleeve, except that it has a red rather than green background. (1)The singles pressed for the East Coast were manufactured by MGM's factory in Bloomfield, New Jeersey. The labels for these disks were printed by Pace Press in New York. (2)West Coast singles were pressed by H.V. Waddell Co. in Burbank, California. The Bloomfield pressings (East coast) of the record list the publisher for "Why" as "Al Gallico Music BMI" while the Waddell pressings (West coast) list the publisher "Al Gallico Music Corp. BMI".
