Comments
Jan. 24, 2006: I HAVE SOLD THIS COPY. SINCE I ALREADY HAVE THE EARLIEST PRESSING COPY.
One tracing skip (although playable) at first 20 seconds of A-4.
I think it's too early (as MG-20679) to use red Mercury label. This record is maybe 2nd issue, or one of the earliest records that red Mercury label is used. On the other hand, The matrix number says it's first press.
See MG-20679 (monaural 1st issue with black label).
