FIRSTLY THIS LP HAS 'FULLY TEXTURED' LABELS (WITH '33' TEXT!) AND A TINY CENTRAL RIDGE (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!!  SECONDLY THE MATRIX ENDINGS END IN 1L/2 AND 2L/1 (THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE!) - WHEREAS LATER ONES DONT!!!!  THIRDLY THE COVER HAS 'BPG 62022' PRINTED UNDER THE CBS LOGO IN THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE COVER FRONT (REMOVED ON LATER COVERS!) AND HAS 'BPG 62022' PRINTED IN THICK BLOCK TEXT TO THE SIDE OF THE LOGO ON THE COVER BACK (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!!  FOURTHLY THIS LP HAS 'FIRST PUBLISHED 1962' LABEL TEXT (LATER ONES DONT!) AND A 'THICKER' CBS BLOCK LOGO ON THE LABELS (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!! AND LASTLY AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COVER BACK THERE IS PRINTED 'CBS IS A TRADEMARK OF COLUMBIA BROADCASTING SYSTEM INC' WITH NO OTHER TEXT (LATER ONES HAD TEXT ADDED!)!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' & RAREST 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS INCREDIBLE LP THAT YOU CAN POSSIBLY GET!!!!   

THIS LP IS MADE EVEN RARER STILL - AS IT IS AN ULTRA RARE 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSING!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  'FACTORY SAMPLE' PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER PRESSED IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (NO MORE THAN A HUNDRED COPIES AT THE VERY MOST!), AND WERE ONLY EVER USED FOR 'IN-HOUSE' USE BY CBS / PHILIPS THEMSELVES (FOR PROMOTIONAL PURPOSES), OR VERY OCCASSIONALLY ONE WAS GIVEN OUT TO 'IMPORTANT VISITORS' TO THE FACTORY - SUCH AS PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS FOR EXAMPLE!!!!  'FACTORY SAMPLE' RECORDS ARE NEARLY ALWAYS THE EARLIEST 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE (AS IN THIS CASE!) AND ARE TRULY EXCEPTIONALLY HARD TO FIND TODAY, AS BARELY ANY EXIST!!!!  BARELY ANY 'FACTORY SAMPLE' 1ST PRESSINGS OF THIS LP WERE EVER MADE - MAKING THIS LP OF THE UTMOST RARITY!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO sticker marks, NO stickers, NO writing, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASN'T BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable.  This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!!  Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 'Earliest' 1st Press 'Uncredited' Flipback Laminated MONO Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (with 'tipping in' to a couple of the corner tips!), NO splits, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO rips, NO tears, VERY shiny laminate, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, SUPERB flipbacks, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  BRILLIANT COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY AS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
