The composition won a Pulitzer prize but this is not in evidence in releases produced prior to this award.\n\nDETAIL OF THIS RELEASE\n\nOn THIS release the Matrix\/Run-out data is faint and difficult to photograph, but sufficiently legible to interpret as stated:\n\n\"ARC\" is the pressing facility: Allentown Record Co. Inc.\n\nThe \"Pete Helffrich\" signature seems illegible but his identity is known and associated with ARC in numerous other examples.\n\nThe \"7-26-69\" follows closely but only the first digit is debatable. This is the date of production.\n\nWhole some releases have distinctly-different label designs, others are identical or nearly-so. For the latter. subtle differences with the placement of print on the labels were also examined closely. Variations may be seem with the precise location of print on either side of the spindle in relation to the inner circle of the vinyl.\n\nAt this time the variations observed may be attributed to the placement of identical labels in slightly different positions.\n\nIn THIS release:\n\nSide A, left side, the \"S\" of \"STEREO\" and the \"H\" of the catalog number begin just inside the circle, and on the right side, the \"EO\" and \":53\" cross the line.\n\nSide B, left side, the \"S\" of \"STEREO\" and the \"H\" of the catalog number fall on the line itself, and on the right side, the \"E\" also falls on the line, and the \":\" just inside it.\n\n\nCOMPARISONS WITH OTHER RELEASES:\n\nTHIS release may be identical to\n[r5229679\n\nLabel print placement is one small variant, but the primary reason to a new submission is in the matrix run-out data, which is probably the same (but misread). It states:\n\nSide A: H 71225 A Pete Helffrig  ARC725-4\nSide B: H 71225 B Pete Helffrig  ARC725-9\n\nCompared with \"ARC 7-26-69\" as seem for both sides of THIS release, the missing dashes and \"6\" of \"69\" are a concern, but misreading \"6\"  as \"5\" and \"9\" as \"4\" could easily be done. Or might two lacquers have been cut on consecutive days, the 25th and 26th of July, 1969?\n\nThese are likely to be the identical release, but until the other contributor can verify this proposed correction, it seems inappropriate to overwrite my data on theirs. Therefore THIS one is submitted separately for comparison.\n\n\nCOMPARISON WITH OTHER RELEASES\n\nSide A of\n[r216339\nshifts the placement of the words one character left. This could be a variance in production, not design. But this release credits Bob Ludwig as the mastering engineer -- clearly contradicted by the data of THIS release.\n[a271098\n\n[r9578476\nhas a completely new set of production credits:\n\"Lacquer Cut At – Masterdisk\"\n\"Lacquer Cut At – Sterling Sound\"\n\"Pressed By – Specialty Records Corporation\"\n\n[r5681619\nis identified as a 1970 repressing with Side B remastered by Bob Ludwig:\n\"Matrix \/ Runout (Side A Runout): H 71225 A Pete Helffrich\"\n\"Matrix \/ Runout (Side B Runout): H-7̶1̶2̶5̶5̶-B RE-1 71225 B STERLING RL\"\n\n[r9237218\nalso admits to a 1970 origin (but not as a repressing), and provides yet another variation on the matrix\/runout data:\n\"(Runout etching side A): H 71225 A 2590 002 A-1 Pete Helffrig\"\n\"(Runout etching side B): 2590 002 B-1 H 71225 B Pete Helffrig\"\n\n[r5230703\nis identified as a repressing and belongs to a different family of label designs.\n\n[r5319760\nis identified as a Canadian reissue by WEA Music Of Canada, Ltd.\n\n[r3768523\nis designated as a UK release, and lacks label images, production credits, and deadwax data.\u003c\/pre\u003e\n\n                    \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n                    \u003cp\u003e.
