More likely Capitol-EMI didn't want to bother cutting a new master, so
they just re-used the old Harvest masters after putting the appropriate
catalog number on 'em.  They certainly wouldn't have bothered taking
the records out of the old jackets, re-scratching a new number on them,
and repackaging them.
