This is a vintage US pressing of the classic Beatles single on the Capitol "Swirl" (Yellow/Orange) label. While the original release was in 1965, this specific copy is a highly collectible "Subsidiary" reissue pressed between late 1968 and 1969. It features the distinctive white rim text along the bottom reading "Mfd. by Capitol Records, Inc., A Subsidiary of Capitol Industries, Inc." This copy was manufactured at the Capitol Records Pressing Plant in Scranton, Pennsylvania, identifiable by the unique text layout (single line title for "Act Naturally") and runout stamps.
💎 CONDITION vinyl: excellent minus (EX-) sleeve: none 🧾 NOTES FOR COLLECTORS-
Long Rim Text Label Variation: This label features the "long rim text" variation printed in white along the bottom edge. It includes the phrase "A Subsidiary of Capitol Industries, Inc.", which was added to Capitol labels in 1968. This distinguishes it from the "short rim text" found on the original 1965 first pressings (which lacks the "Subsidiary" wording).
-
Scranton Pressing: The runout grooves feature the stamped "IAM" in a triangle symbol (International Association of Machinists), confirming this was pressed at the Scranton, PA plant.
-
Typography: On Side A, the title "ACT NATURALLY" is printed on a single line. (Los Angeles pressings from this era typically split the title onto two lines).
