From my own personal collection, this is a numbered limited edition audiophile remaster of Nat King Cole's album Love Is The Thing, pressed on 180gram pure virgin vinyl by DCC Compact Classics. This one is number 2189.
This DCC Compact Classics pressing is now out of print and copies are very hard to find.
I bought this disk new from a very reputable hifi dealer and has only been played once on a Rega P3 deck. The disk is in brilliant condition - may have some surface dust which I have not attempted to remove so you can use your own preferred method. The sleeve does have a few minor blemishes so please inspect the photos before bidding.
Here are mastering notes taken from discogs.com:
Released as Capitol W-824 in January 1957 with the original 12 songs. Stereo version (with only 10 songs) mixed and released as SW-824 in April 1959. This 180g LP is the first album since 1968 to restore "Love Is The Thing" to its original 1957 length and running order.

Mastering note: The 3-track original tapes of "Maybe It's Because I Love You Too Much" and "Love Letters" were lost after being left off of the stereo LP of Love Is The Thing. These two songs were never mixed to stereo and are presented here in their original pristine monaural form. S.H.

Bonus tracks recorded March 1963 for Capitol SW-1859 "Where Did Everyone Go?", also with Gordon Jenkins.
