This is pressed on very thick vinyl
There are 3 different white label USA pressings that look exactly like this on Discogs. #1)The very rare 1st press. Unfortunately Discogs does not have the dead wax #'s to compare this with. #2) The 1957 2nd pressing with the original front cover. That has different matrix #'s so it is not this one. #3)An early release in the 2nd sleeve design. No dead wax #'s given so I can't tell if it is this one either.
In summation the best I can tell from Discogs is this is either #1) the 1st pressing or #3) a probably 1957 or 1958 (Discogs doesn't say) reissue in the 2nd sleeve. I have listed on eBay a blue label pressing of #3) in the 2nd yellow sleeve that appears to exactly match #3). If you are interested in buying this with that I can make you a deal on it if it hasn't sold.
- CONDITION
VINYL: VG It looks VG+. Side 1 plays a decent VG+ side 2 plays a still enjoyable VG. The vinyl is very thick.
In a generic white sleeve with an audiophile inner
OF COURSE I COMBINE SALES FOR CHEAPEST POSSIBLE SHIPPING.
NM: Plays as good as new or extremely close with no more than a couple of insignificant defects.
EX: Plays just short of near mint.
VG+ : Used but not abused. Will have some audible imperfections.
VG : More background sounds from defects but not enough to make the record unenjoyable
VG-: significant background sound from various defects but music always quite audible above it.
Cover has some damage that will be noted.
