Release notes
A similar release exists which has "STEREO" printed slightly more to the right on both labels and has got a tax code embossed on side 1: [r8524587].
Released in a gatefold sleeve that opens from the inside and with horizontal flipbacks in the centre spread.
First pressing. Black/yellow labels with silver lettering. “The Parlophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print. “Recording first published 1964″ and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text.
This is for original pressings only with track A7 titled as just "Kansas City" (Lieber-Stoller)
Later pressings had to be retitled for legal reasons.
The original LP sleeve and the label listed the song as "Kansas City" (Lieber-Stoller).
After the attorneys for Venice Music complained, the record label was revised to read:
"Medley: (a) Kansas City (Leiber/Stoller) (P)1964 Macmelodies Ltd./KPM. (b) Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey (Penniman) Venice Mus. Ltd. (P)1964."
Record grading guide
Every record is graded visually (and play-tested when in doubt) using the Goldmine standard — the same scale used by Discogs sellers worldwide. Media and sleeve are always graded separately.
| M | Mint — perfect, usually still sealed. We use this grade very rarely. |
|---|---|
| NM | Near Mint — looks barely played. No visible marks, plays clean. |
| VG+ | Very Good Plus — light signs of use, minor sleeve wear. Plays great; our most common grade. |
| VG | Very Good — visible wear, may have light surface noise that doesn't overpower the music. |
| G+ / G | Good — plays through without skipping but with noticeable noise. Priced accordingly. |
| F / P | Fair / Poor — filler or collector copies only. Always described in the notes. |
Anything worth mentioning that the grade doesn't capture is in the seller notes on each listing.
