This version is pressed on short-lived labels that used an ATCO Records purple, white & brown label blank that appeared on a very small number of releases ca. 1967-68. Atco used this color scheme ca. 1961-67 for their stereo releases, but most have "ATCO" in brown and "STEREO" in white. Examples of Atco with black text are also RCA, Indianapolis pressings. See: Sonny & Cher - The Best Of Sonny & Cher.
Both Sides Now Atlantic discography notes this label may have been used for RCA Record Club releases, but this may stem from their being RCA, Indianapolis pressings. This release shows no indication of being a club release.
