   The Promo of this is really a White Label. There must have been 2 different variations. Mine has the fade out version and is a Columbia pressing from Terre Haute, Indiana. Timing on my station library copy is 3:00. WFLI in Chattanooga, TN played this version which corresponds to the commercial single I also own. My commercial copy is also a Columbia pressing from Terre Haute, Indiana!

	Weird. I have never seen a white-label promo of a London-distributed single prior to the mid-70s. They've all been the orange swirl label, or in the case of Deram stock label with a "promotional copy" notation. Maybe some pressing plants had occasional shortages of promo labels? BTW, the orange swirl promos pre-date the blue swirl stock copies by a good 6 months...I have several from mid-1964-on that are this way, but the stock copies are the white & purple labels. This is not to say that there weren't some blue swirl labels beginning in mid-1964, but I've never seen them. London promos I've seen prior to mid-64 were stock label with "promotional copy" notation. Edited by Hykker

	Steve, the "different pressing plants/labels used variations" was the reason why I was somewhat vague as to the exact start of the stock swirl label. I'd account for the earlier surfacing of your orange swirl promo 45s this way. From my experience, labels didn't normally use up "old label design stock" for promo 45s; only for stock copies. And, for a longer period than I noticed for most other label design changes, I own a bigger-than-usual amount of London stock 45s issued on both the white/purple and the blue swirl labels. (My 45 boxes from this time are deeply buried right now, or I'd provide specific examples of this - my apologies.)

	my commercial 45 issued as press 9773 lists the run time on the label as 3:00 but actually runs 3:03.....my run out groove etching is 'DR-35776-1D'.....if you fade the full length 3:21 version for 0:10 from 2:53 to 3:03 you can effectively re-create the vinyl 45 version.....looks like there are multiple running time versions for this 45....

	To date, I still have not seen a white label promo of this record but have had two different orange swirl promo pressings pass through my hands, both matching my stock 45 pressing with the fade out...
