Notes on runouts, including scratched numbers and letters present on runouts but not exhaustively reported below on matrix/runout data, listed here for a complete reading. 
Runout Side A: a stamped  '8338' and a following etched '-3' scratched after 'ZAL'; an etched 'w' scratched between '8340' and '(MR)'.
Runout Side B: an etched 'w' scratched between '(MR)' and 'Bell Sound';  '...' do not follow but placed under number '5'. 
'RePL' could be 'RCPL', but the first more likely, as it could mean 'replaced' or similar, due to the wrong scratched first writing.

This album and these Bluesbreakers mark the beginning of a new journey for me in 1968 -- impossible to speak too highly of the musical contributions from the revised personnel -- only one thing left to say -- This is my story so let this music be my true voice.
