Notes:

Columbia Pitman first-press variation, with white label background just as on Columbia Santa Maria first-press, but with typesetting differences including but not limited to:
- "DUAL 45" typeset in same font as catalogue number
- Arranger/director Edwin R. Hawkins' name on left on one line, rather than divided into two
- A side title set in same font as "RECORDS"
- B side title set in same font as artist name
- "Featuring Dorothy Combs Morrison" on Side A, and "Formerly Northern California State Youth Choir" on both sides, in all capital letters

Early pressings with this variant used metal parts of original Century Records release 04-FV-33646 (credited under their earlier name), with old matrix numbers crossed out and new ones written in; later pressings used newly-cut lacquers

A. Oh Happy Day 4:59
B. Jesus, Lover Of My Soul 4:06
