It was so nice and sunny here in Kentucky that I have the front door and 
storm door wide open.

It is on the reverse of many single-sided Victors made from IMPORTED

Of course it is still in use for Angel Records, which is/was the 
classical label for EMI's Capitol in the U.S. in the LP era.  But it was
