| COMMENTS | This version was exported to the United States by Pickwick (*). The sleeve has the “mr. pickwick” logo on both the front and back covers. The front also features a British flag with the text “British Import”. The front cover was laminated, and this copy includes a plain white paper inner sleeve. The light orange labels feature the “mr. pickwick” logo and the catalog number CNA 2007. The edition exported to Commonwealth countries retained the “Pickwick presents” text and Contour logos. Its cover carries a sticker with rounded corners, showing half of the British flag and the text “direct import”. The text “Collectors item original recording” was printed in the upper right corner of the front cover. Unlike this export edition, with its CNA 2007 catalog number and “mr. pickwick” logos, the U.K. domestic edition used CN 2007 and retained the Contour logo on both sides of the cover. Although the cover states “Electronically Created Stereo”, the recordings are true stereo mixes. (*) Pickwick Records was an American record label known for budget albums, sound-alike recordings, and reissues under labels such as Design. In the U.K., it operated as a distributor and entered into exclusive licensing agreements with major record companies. For many years it served as an official budget reissue outlet for labels such as RCA and CBS. Pickwick was sold in 1977 to American Can Company, which relocated Pickwick’s corporate headquarters from Long Island City, New York to Minneapolis, Minnesota. In the 1970s the label changed direction, and began reissuing LPs that had been deleted from catalogs of the major record labels, in particular the RCA Records subsidiary RCA Camden, itself a reissue label. Pickwick also reissued numerous LPs from the Motown catalog during the 1970s. Pickwick’s assets were purchased by PolyGram Records in the late 1970s. |
