...London, because the finished records of a new John Lennon-Yoko Ono LP album were not ready in time, review copies were sent out in the form of two test pressings, each with a recorded side and a blank side.

Housing starts fell 12% last month to the lowest level in two years, and new orders for durable goods, which had risen sharply in September, settled back again. The price picture is less clear.
