Question
Oklahoma soundtrack
I have a fold out cover soundtrack released by Capitol. I am interested to find out what year this particular one was released. I noticed on other listings on this site they list a number after the record company name. The number on mine is SAO 595. Is there some way this number can be used to find out the details. What do these numbers indicate? There is also a number stamped on the back cover in the lower right hand corner which I'm sure means nothing but thought I'd ask. Thanks in advance for any info you can offer.
The Oklahoma soundtrack with the number SAO 595 is the original American issue on the red Capitol label. An S prefix from pre-stereo Capitol records always indicates a red label, which was used rarely, mostly for broadway and soundtrack recordings. Oklahoma was pressed again the next year as WAO 595 with a plain grey label and subsequently in stereo and mono on the rainbow label.
