In Reply to: RE: Yeah, like I need another copy of "Time Out"...but I sure couldn't pass this up posted by vinyl phanatic on July 03, 2015 at 14:56:47
but that the cover is the second version (released to take advantage of five):
Makes me wonder how soon they released the second cover but still had enough of the original WLP pressings to use for promotion.

The jacket has a date of March 3 1964 stamped on the back, of course I'm not sure if that was from the factory or not. Obviously the disc was made before 1961, since there is no "CBS" on the label. The only thing I can think is that maybe they had a stash of white promo discs made up that they issued as needed, in whatever jacket was current. From what I can tell, the early jacket design didn't last long. There is no promo stamp on the jacket, but in my experience, Columbia jackets with white label discs usually don't have a stamp.
and Take Five took off fast! I'm surprised Columbia was able to change the cover design so quickly.
Then again it WAS a jazz LP so they probably hadn't printed many of the original cover, especially
the stereo one.
ENJOY that nice pressing!

Is it significant that this one used the red label with a sticker rather than the white label?
WLP's though were traditionally distributed to radio stations (the black print on white background
more easily read in the possibly dark studio). Stickers could be placed or slapped on to stock
copies by various promo people as needed, so those pressings aren't necessarily "first" or as
early as a WLP might be.
The sticker on a, say, debut Bob Dylan LP would likely mean a very early pressing as there were
NO WLP's of the six -eye. Columbia was pretty inconsistent with their promo's.

I don't think it's particularly significant. It seems that Columbia used both white labels and stickers concurrently. There is no CBS on the label pictured, so the disc is an early pressing, made before 1961. The site linked below is a good source of info on labels.

and it has the word "Demonstration" stamped across a normal label. Don't see that variation here. I think I have a couple like that.
