RCA Canada Albums
The Monkees

RCA Canada used an RE or RE2 (after the catalog number)
to denote when a cover was revised or corrected.

On the back cover there is a box with information about
joining the Monkees fan club. First there was a USA address,
then at some point it was updated to a Canadian address,
and then ultimately removed altogether.

The misspelled song title Papa Jean's Blues,
was never corrected on the back cover.
