Notes

Original US Columbia pressing exported to Sweden, re-labeled with the "Samson"-logo. Samson was a record store in Stockholm, Sweden in the 1950-60's. In an era when it was very hard to buy records made in the US they specialised in importing selected Columbia titles and selling them. Columbia would not allow their logo on these albums as they had no control over the distribution, and Samson would put a sticker or print their logo over the Columbia logo on both cover and labels.
