Return to Sender
Where Do You Come From
RCA 1320 (45 rpm)
Track Listing:
Side 1:
1. Return To Sender
Side 2:
1. Where Do You Come From
Released: November 1962:
Sound Format: mono
UK Single No: (39)
Both songs were taken from the mono soundtrack album: "Girls! Girls! Girls!" (RD 7534). It's hard to believe that a decision was made to put such a pop classic "Return To Sender" on a pretty average movie LP.
First label variations of this single still used the "Trade Mark(s) ® Registered" across the top. This was possibly done to use up old stock.
NOTE: This single was issued using the matrix number N2WW, part of the RCA system.
