Twist And Shout
This album was a unique Canadian release
LP.6054.7.2 | Orange 2nd generation, Dynaflex pressing, black perimeter print, ® logo, no boxed information
Variation LP.6054.7.2 is almost identical to LP.6054.7.1, but now has the new ® logo that was introduced in January 1975, bt still features a slick construction printed by MG. It is otherwise recognized by the fact that the boxed legal information on the back cover was removed.
Availability
This variation was most likely available in early 1975 only (for a few months) when the cover changed to the new wraparound construction type (see LP.6054.7.3).
General Information
This pressing with the missing information box is quite scarce as only a handfulof copies have been documented.
Pressing Information
Capitol of Canada most likely subcontracted the RCA pressing plant in Smith Falls (Ontario) to manufacture new batches of albums, using once again its new Dynaflex technology. We say "most likely" because this pressing has an MCA marking on the trail off area, meaning this records is either a Compo (MCA) pressing, or the lacquer was prepared at MCA for unknown reasons. This album was never pressed by Compo before, so it would be surprising (and without logical explanation) that it would have been only this time around. The fact that Dynaflex and Compo pressing rings are almost identical complicates the assessment process, but the authors believe that the lacquer was probably prepared at MCA (only available provider?), and that the records were nonetheless pressed at RCA:
Side A: XEX-455-2 ◎--O--◎
Side B: XEX-456
Cover
The cover of this variation uses yet a new jacket printed by Modern Graphics. It is a slick construction, with a straight inner seam construction measuring approximately 8 mm, but this variation had the legal information box removed from the back cover.
The cover falls between variations LP.6054.7.1 and LP.6054.7.3. They are what seems to be a transitional cover between the two surrounding variations.

Packaging
This edition was 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.
