Clear Light

Gold/tan Elektra label with Clear Light logo. Allentown pressing, identified by the "AR" date-codes faintly etched in runouts. Label variant: second Allentown version with • Corrected "Nina Music / Little Giant" publishing credits for track A1. • Both labels (and jacket) are marked, "All songs © copyright Nina Music BMI, except where otherwise indicated." • September/October pre-release plate/pressing dates in runouts. The "AR" date-code was inscribed each time a stamper was made; they vary considerably in style but it's all the same pressing: some are MM-DD-YY (Variants 1 and 2), but others use a pressing-plant MMDDY shorthand with only the final digit of the year (with or without a / separator, as in Variant 3). All runouts also contain a tiny and indistinct set of initials that have not yet been identified. (RK, R10 and PY have been suggested, likely that of Ray Hagerty.) Issued with a special inner sleeve showing a picture of the band in black and white. Also released in mono (# EKL-4011). All songs © Nina Music except "Black Roses" © Nina Music/Little Giant. "Mr Blue" © Deep Fork, ASCAP.
