tlscapital 24th May 2022: Scans now added to the entry on here for the catalog number HLMJ-1233 local presses of this corner stone of a record linked as complementary to these 15,000 Bell pressings.

tlscapital 23rd May 2022: Walk2013 is correct about the very first local release of Hot Line Music Journal Records HLMJ-1233 out of wich 300 or about were relesed to give away to radios stations and that is most likely contemporary to the People's Choice 'savin' all of my lovin' on Palmer (May 1967). But JM stating that it's a 'white promo'... I never looked at my copy that way. It's very pale blue on rough paper. Then when the Bell deal for national distribution came into the game by November 1967 likely Palmer & Rodgers managed to get exclusivity locally and so got to rerelease their own non-featured here as well 'Grand Land Records Trademark' HLMJ-1233 rerelease sharing the same label design as the Bell distributed ones then. Will post scans of both non Bell later.
