Capitol is part of EMI, as is Apple. For the original Apple album release and subsequent CD releases, see 1972. It's a stretch of the imagination to think of this song as a "train tune", unless the compiler was thinking of a train whistle! Thanks to Hans Seegers for information and scans. |

"Paths Of Victory" - 8" acetate of Witmark demo, MPHC Reference Recording (no catalogue number) (USA), recorded 1963, offered for sale by auction, Dec 1992
 Picture from "Isis" 46, Dec 1992/Jan 1993 |
R-0465 Paths Of Victory - Witmark demo (different from
version released on The Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3, see
International Album Releases) "MPHC" stands for “Music Publishers Holding Corporation,” of which Witmark was a part. Some sources give the date of this Witmark demo as Dec 1963, although the Bootleg Series Vols. 1-3 version was recorded on Columbia Studios, New York, on 12 Aug 1963, which would place any publishing company demo somewhat earlier. This single-sided 8" acetate is housed in an "audiodisc" generic sleeve, see 7" Single Sleeves. Thanks to Derek Barker of "Isis" magazine for the information. For a 1964 MPHC acetate of I Don't Believe You (She Acts Like We Never Have Met), see Mono Singles & EPs 1962-64. For a 1965 Columbia acetate of Positively 4th Street in an "audiodisc" sleeve, see Mono 7" Singles & EPs 1965. |
