Notes

A product of Catero Sound Co., San Francisco.

Printed in U.S.A.

The "o" stamp in the side A runout indicates that Customatrix handing the plating and/or metal parts used to manufacture this record.
The "SX" etching in the side A runout indicates that Columbia's Santa Maria pressing plant made metal parts used to manufacture this record.

This version is a Pitman pressing plant variation with plating and metal parts made not only by Customatrix, but also by Santa Maria. It can be identified by the label typesetting and by the presence of the small "p" and "o" stamps in conjunction with the "SX" etching.

There is another Pitman pressing variation that does not have the "SX" etching, but does have the "o" stamp.
