The Mamas & The Papas

The runouts show work was done by both [l288546] and [l438055]. Those firms normally did plating/mastering work; it is possible LW stampers were re-used, or the two firms shared efforts on this reissue. The paragraph of credits on the rear refers to "musical sounds" and "the guitar sounds" and to "the strange instruments". Those references are unlikely to be for unlisted instruments or unusual use. The blurb also adds an "s" to "Blaine", "Knechtel" and "Osborn" that are probably the possessive form without the apostrophes; no ANVs have been added.
