Good question..my album isn't where I can put my hands on it right now. I
always got the impression that RCA did cast albums under protest and did
everything they could do let you know it, at least till the 60s. Overtures were
omitted or heavily chopped, performers names sometimes appeared only as
surnames in tiny print on the label (just try and figure who's singing half the
songs on "Fanny"), plot summaries..who cares about those? Capitol was just as bad.
