AN EXTRAORDINARY FIND. THIS FACTORY SEALED EXAMPLE OF THE FIRST CAPITOL EXTENDED PLAY DISPLAYS A SALES SHIPPING SLIP FORM SEALED WITHIN THE EP, LAYING ON TOP OF THE FRONT COVER.

THE SLIP STATES IT IS SHIPPED FROM LOS ANGELES RECORD DISTRIBUTOR 'DALE RECORD SERVICE', AND SOLD TO 'ANDY'S TV SHOP' IN OXNARD, CALIFORNIA. A DATE RED STAMP OF "RECEIVED" ON JUNE 17, 1964 IS PRESENT ON THE SALES SLIP.

THE FACT THAT THIS RECORD EMANATES FROM A LOS ANGELES RECORD DISTRIBUTOR, AND THE EP COVER HAS THE BACK SIDE DISPLAYING THE PASTE-ON SLICK STYLE FOR THAT SIDE (THE EAST COAST COVER HAS THE PASTE-ON SLICK ON THE FRONT) , DEFINES THIS AS A WEST COAST, LOS ANGELES PRESSING OF THIS EXTENDED PLAY.
