Notes

Glossy black rainbow labels without "subsidiary" rim text. Scranton started to use glossy labels (again) in late 1967. Earlier copies had matte rainbow labels.

This version of labels list Ken Thorne as the writer of the last track on each side and has "You Can't Do That" as part of B4.

Scranton pressing as identified in runouts by the IAM stamped in a triangle. "&" in runouts = stereo. Typesetting on labels is similar to releases Help! (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), which are in Keystone print.

What appear to be "T" and "'" in the matrices are etched out.

There are superscripts in each variant:
'3 (Side B, variant 1)
6 (Side B, variant 2)
#2 (Side A, variant 3)

The catalog number "SMAS 2386" is printed on the spine.
