This record is key to understanding the author's claim that first and second pressings exist within the
Mad Mike Moldies album series.  Obviously not a legitimate record; unlike the two previous volumes
that were produced in Pittsburgh's Strip District, Volume 3 was manufactured at a record pressing
plant in Rockaway, New Jersey!  Appearing in the deadwax is the familiar RCA machine-stamped matrix
which decodes as having been mastered in the latter-half of 1966 from a customer-supplied tape source.
(see more on this at: http://capitolsoulclub.homestead.com/PressingPlants.html )  One can imagine that
legal steps were taken by the owners of the "Mad Mike Moldies" trademark to halt its sale and impound
the vinyl.  A new corporation, Supreme Teen Enterprises, is formed to control future record production.
Matrix shows TR4M -5657 -1 , TR4M -5658 -1 .  Also shows the "R" designation for the Rockaway
plant.  Weight: 140.3g  Note- This record eventually was placed into a Volume 4 jacket and offered at retail
sale; the author's copy has an orange National Record Mart closeout price sticker attached to the cover.
