=====================================================
In the summer of 1967 when this single was still being pressed,
workers in the RCA pressing plants went on strike:
Cash Box June 17, 1967
So this record was contracted out to these pressing plants:
(This is what is known, there may be others)
Allied Records Pressing Plant
Hollywood, CA
Type 2 Label on polystyrene
This record has the "H" scratched out with an "A" etched next to it.

The "T II" indicates that this is from the Terra Haute plant and that

Thanks to W.B. at the Hoffman Music Forums for this information.
Cash Box July 15, 1967
Even when the rest of RCA was on strike from June to July, 1967
the employees at the Hollywood plant kept working. So that explains why
the Capitol plant (LA) and Allied Records (Hollywood)
were able to use the stampers from the RCA Hollywood plant.
Whereas the contract records produced at the Capitol plant (Scranton, PA)
and the Columbia plant (Terra Haute, IN) had no RCA stamper marks in the dead wax.
