Notes:

Side A has two feelable scratches that do not cause any sort of consistent tics. Both sides have scratches, but the record plays very well. First mono pressing with no inc on back cover and no (r) under the E on the label. Sleeve VG+ due to minor corner bumps and some light wear

Recorded on October 30, 1958.
