Liner notes: The last line indicates that this release is part of a Golden Greats Series. While there are a number of different series with that designation, this release doesn't fit in with any of them. There is also a serious lack of marks, logos, or other mentions regarding the series. Maybe it was a mistake or an idea that never got off the ground? The single mention occupies a prominent spot that a mistake seems unlikely; however, the initial phrasing is also a bit odd. All conjecture at this point, so I'll stop.

The LP's extra-large pressing rings (73mm) led me toward the LCCN's pressed-by entry. Using a reputable outside source, I discovered that there are only 4-5 plants that produce 73mm pressing rings. One is specific to RCA, two or three of the others usually have accompanying marks in the runouts, and the last one? Purchased by Liberty about a year before this release is released. Bam!
