Album issue: RCA-UK-LP12 "The First Thirty Years" LFL4-7522 ELECTRONIC STEREO 1975
 
see note!Notes: the single version of Perry's "Father of Girls" was included within the UK compilation
"The First Thirty Years" and the only known release on LP. Although recorded in stereo,
it was released within that compilation electronically reprocessed to simulate stereo.
The full stereo version of this single was first released in 1999 within the compact disc
compilation "The Essential 60's Singles Collection" from Taragon Records.
The original single version was re-recorded with a voice-over dub for Perry's 1968
album release "Look To Your Heart". Although the actual date of the re-recording
is not known, nor generally acknowledged, it probably occurred during the album sessions
from June 5th to 19th, 1968.  All other album re-releases of this song have been the 1968 version.
