I'll have to do some digging around but I believe I still have a promotional pressing of the 45, a SRC plant pressing, with the title on one line and including the word I at the beginning. I've never seen a copy with the title on two lines before but have seen it on one line with and without the I at the beginning.]]> Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:27:10 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5159&PID=23986&title=neil-diamondi-thank-the-lord-for#23986 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5159&PID=23966&title=neil-diamondi-thank-the-lord-for#23966 Author: KentT

The Specialty manufactured Bang 45 pressings were the best quality of all US pressings. ]]> Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:12:04 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5159&PID=23966&title=neil-diamondi-thank-the-lord-for#23966 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5159&PID=23662&title=neil-diamondi-thank-the-lord-for#23662 Author: Yah Shure

Thanks, Jim! The SRC logo indicates that yours is a Specialty Records Company pressing, from Olyphant, PA. We occasionally got Specialty Bangs here in the Upper Midwest, but mostly they came from Plastic Products out of Memphis, lousy quality and all.

Yah Shure, I don't have the ability to do post scans, but my 45 lettering looks much different than yours, with the entire song title on one line. The only deadwax info besides a handwritten "W10131" is an insignia, which will hopefully be a tipoff to you as to which plant it was pressed: there is a large, inverted, mechanically-typed "S", with the smaller, capital letters "R" and "C" squeezed inside the loops of the "S". ]]> Sun, 06 Sep 2009 18:53:29 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5159&PID=23661&title=neil-diamondi-thank-the-lord-for#23661 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5159&PID=23660&title=neil-diamondi-thank-the-lord-for#23660 Author: Yah Shure

Jim, I've never run across a copy that does have the "I" at the beginning of the title (and I've likewise never run across a Bang 45 with an exclamation mark, either :).

I'm wondering whether or not the "I" copies were from one specific pressing plant. Every Bang and Frog King LP I have with the track omits the the initial "I" from the title.

Here's a label scan of the 45 I bought at the local Musicland in 1967 when TTLFTNT was new.

This Monarch pressing also omits the "I."

And the final TTLFTNT 45 issued by Bang - the 1973 stereo Solid Gold reissue - is also IWOL.

My commercial 45 (Bang! 547) has a listed time of (2:55), but an actual time of (3:01). Pat, just FYI, my 45 copy does happen to include an "I" to start the song's title. But my RR "Top Pop Singles 1955-2006" book states that 45s were issued in 1967 both with and without the "I" in the title, and I obviously take them at their word about that. ]]> Sun, 06 Sep 2009 15:33:06 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5159&PID=23654&title=neil-diamondi-thank-the-lord-for#23654
