Notes

This is an early Canadian contract pressing, with discs imported into the U.K. and sold in U.K. packaging.
The UK sleeves for this version display the catalog number underneath the RCA logo on the back sleeve.
RCA Canada received the stampers from RCA UK. The K in the runout grooves/deadwax is for Kevin Metcalfe who was a mastering/lacquer cutting engineer at RCA Records UK between 1973 to 1975.
The Canadian-manufactured disks for this version are pressed on standard weight vinyl (non-Dynaflex).

    As mentioned in the other posts here, RCA Caanda received the stampers from RCA UK. The K in the runout grooves/deadwax is for Kevin Metcaff who was a mastering engineer ar RCA UK between 1973 to 1975. The above LP link to "K" is incorrect. It links to an RCA Canada mastering engineer, Kevin Fuller. Maybe someone could correct that.

      Sunday 18th December 2016:

      Need your help:

      The matrices for this Canadian ish are
      RS 1003-A-2T (2) A1 K
      RS 1003-B-2-UT (2) A2 K

      Supposedly, the very 1st CDN ish of Pinups used the original UK stampers. That's the one I am seeking! Are the above UK matrices? If not, then which CDN issue is it? There are several 1973 CDN pressings. Is it the one with the tan label, the orange label w/Dynaflex logo, or the orange label w/out Dynaflex logo???
