The Legendary A&M Sessions

This release pulls together two previously released [A&M Records] 7" singles by the band, A & B-sides as listed, respectively. On the 1984 issues the 5th track is the 1st official release of the work. Recordings are Mono. The vinyl is 12" 45rpm.
Subsequent issues [i.e. 1986] employ liner notes 'lifted' from 1st issue - therefore, this track would have been previously released officially. Also, the comment "...today, some eighteen years later..." would, of course, be incorrect per reissue.
Mastering is credited on releases to Carbone at A&M Mastering Studios in Hollywood, although the vinyl is clearly cut by mastering engineers in the UK, as evidenced in run-outs.
First vinyl issues have red marble covers, later issues have blue checker effect. Given the qualities of the different 'cuts' between the two releases, there must be some conjecture [to date] as to the mastering engineer for CD issues.
History, through published band-member recollections, has revealed that Alex St. Clair [Snouffer] was drummer on the first A-side (due to the Armed-Forces call-up of drummer Mortensen). Rich Hepner was the guitarist, as per the 12th Nov '65 line-up of the band at Exposition Hall. P.G. Blakely (aka Blakeley in DB) was back in the band after the recording, appearing in the A-side performance on American TV. PR photos of this line-up then appeared.
