NotesOn labels THERE IS NOT the text "A Division of MCA" printed below the rainbow strip, and matrix/runout is the same as the US PROMO The Who - Sings my Generation


For the above reasons this is a true example of first US pressing with the standard US Decca label.


Mono (and stereo) copies with "A Division of MCA" printed below the rainbow strip were pressed later (from 1967-68).


Pressings from Decca Gloversville plant can be identified by a ? (typically LPs) at the end of the B side label matrix and a stick "1" stamped/etched into the runout.
