Twist And Shout

Variation LP.6054.7.1 is recognized by its black perimeter print on the label (instead of gold), a slight change in perimeter text ("Capitol-EMI") and its Dynaflex characteristics. These early 2nd generation pressings feature the ™ logo on the bottom right of the label.

A sealed copy with an MG slick cover has been documented, and is, in all likelihood, this variation (see "cover" section below), but confirmation would require to find an open copy, or to unseal this one, which the authors prefer not to do at this time.

Availability

This variation was available only for a few months in late 1974, until January 1975 where the ™ logo was changed to a ® logo instead (see LP.6054.7.2).

General Information

Although orange pressings are quite common in general, the early orange labels are more difficult to find; 2nd generation with the ® logo, and third generation orange label pressings are much more common.

Second generation orange labels can be identified by the BLACK perimeter print around the label that is much easier to read than the previous gold text. This pressing would have been made in small quantities when demand required a new run of pressings to restock the warehouse. Another interesting fact is that this label generation was unique to Canada at this point since Capitol USA opted for the Apple label for their Capitol reissues instead.

Pressing Information

As was the case for all previous variations, Capitol of Canada would have still subcontracted the RCA pressing plant in Smith Falls (Ontario) to manufacture new batches of albums with a new "second generation of orange labels". This variation has yet to be officially confirmed, but copies would logically be found with similar matrix numbers as LP.6054.6.2 (TBC). This copy would be a Dynaflex pressing like the previous and following variations.

Cover

The cover of this variation seems to use a new jacket printed by Modern Graphics. It is a slick construction, with a straight inner seam construction measuring approximately 8 mm.

Only a sealed copy has been documented, and logic puts it in the timeline on this variation (but authors would need to unseal the record to officially confirm it). The cover seems to fall between variations LP.6054.6.2 and LP.6054.7.2. It was now manufactured by Modern Graphics, but it loses the "Printed In Canada" in the box on the bottom back cover. They are what seems to be a transitional cover between the two surrounding variations.

Packaging

This edition would have been shipped in tight shrink wrap, with or without a plain paper LP inner sleeve. These Capitol sleeves are square and have a slight curve at the top.
