This was one of the last things (apparently) recorded at US Decca's New York studios; early copies (including this promo) were mastered at MCA/Decca itself in NYC.
Bell records was never a subsidiary of Atlantic. Some time around 1970 they became a subsidiary of Columbia Pictures. When Clive Davis became president of Bell Records in 1974, they morphed into Arista Records.
HitsTownUSA. Great quality stereo promo. It is really a shame that stock copies of this record and 98% of Bell 45's were all mono, even until the very end.
