Hey Purple Lips, thanks for the info! I was figuring West Coast vs. East Coast pressings would be the key factor in identifying the provenance of this record. I knew from research on the Banana album that one of the pressings had the surnames of the songwriters listed, and the others didn't. But, it seems, Banana album pressings had at least a few more clues to the pressing plant -- IIRC, something like "manufactured in Hollywood" or something along those lines for West Coast pressings.
A couple of things to add:
1.) I made a typo on the matrix info for side two. It has '1067' instead of '1066' (as on side one).
2.) I looked at my other '67 pressing, and it has the same "These Girls" mistake and the same matrix info! I can't believe I didn't notice this before, but buying this copy has been a bit of a sore spot for me. I paid $75 for it on eBay, listed as "VG+" vinyl, and it is so scuffed that it is unlistenable. Of course, it was sold "as-is" and the seller did nothing to rectify the situation. So I just put this copy up and ignored it. The copy I have with correct titles is a much later pressing, and I was thinking of it when I said I had another '67 pressing with the correct titles.
So I've had a copy of this album with the same typo and matrix info in my house for a long time and didn't even know it!
Purple Lips, thanks for all the info. I don't know what other info I can post to be of help here, but I'd be willing to send you my scratched copy for your Nico collection, and for you to inspect further. I haven't tried running the record through my Discwasher, as it sounded so awful that I thought there was no hope for it (and like I said, I was so peeved about the bad purchase that I put it up and tried to forget about it), so I didn't bother with trying to clean it, but there may be some hope for it. Send me a PM and I'll arrange to get it shipped to you.
