Sorry, Chris, but in this case you're not quite right.  EMI-Manhattan
was simply the new name of EMI-America, formed when EMI's two
divisions, EMI-America and Manhattan Records, merged.  Even new, 
full-priced releases were on the EMI-Manhattan label.  It's the 
"Price Buster" label that indicated that it was a budget re-release.
It's true, though, that the EMI-America pressings included the lyrics,
while the EMI-Manhattan did not.  Incidentally, the name of this label
has been changed once again, and it's now called EMI Records USA.
