"dial L For Lonely" Pressing On Capitol -Boot Or Legit Pick Up Of Samar

[Robbk]

I have recently seen a Capitol 5969 on You Tube playing the Samar cut.  Interestingly enough, it lists Chicago's Phil Wright as arranger (but was really arranged by Bert DeCoteaux in New York), and lists Chicago's Carone Productions.  But the record looks like a genuine Capitol pressing from the late '60s.  I picked up the Samar release in the late '60s.  I certainly know it was a New York production.  It was written by East Coast writer, Bob Stone.  They also changed the writers to 2 people (albeit New Yorkers).  In ALL my years of record scrounging, never saw the Capitol.  Is it a British Bootleg? -made during the time that record was still "covered up" on The Northern Scene?

No, it was never booted Robb.

Maybe it's Canadian Capitol?

I'm pretty sure someone just photoshop'd title and artist in a scan of Capitol 5969 (Patti Drew) to use it in the YT video.

 

Edit, here's the video Robb refers to:

With a typeface that looks absolutely nothing like the actual one

[Robbk]

Yes, now I realise that Capitol never used that typeface.  Why would anyone do that?  They could have taken a screen shot of the Samar record (several of which are on The Internet.  I should have recognised Capitol 5969.  That's one of my favourites.

The label is in fact from Patti Drew's Capitol 45 "Stop and Listen".
