Band - "Up On Cripple Creek"

time on Capitol 45 2635 is listed as "3:10", and my 45 has so many skips and scratches, i couldn't get a legitimate time, although i suspect it is close to the 3:30 listed in the db... just FYI, the 45 is stereo and it's on the Capitol "bullseye" label (on a sort of related topic: does anybody know the last 45 on the great Capitol "orange and yellow swirl" label of the sixties???)

Nice pickup, jrjr! I only own promo 45s for this, and mine has a listed time of (3:10), but an actual time of (3:31). Also, I quickly went through a couple of my 1969 stock 45 boxes for you. This is only meant to give you a ROUGH idea of when the "swirl" ended, and the "bullseye" began, jrjr. Glen Campbell's "Galveston", Capitol 2428, debuted in Billboard on 3/1/69, and is the latest # Capitol "swirl" label found in my two sample boxes. My earliest Capitol "bullseye" label # found in those same two 1969 boxes was Capitol 2482, "Hurt So Bad" by the Lettermen, which debuted Billboard on 5/31/69. So I've been able to narrow down the label change date down to between 3/1 and 5/31, 1969 for you, jrjr.

Maybe so - my promo is on the solid green label.
