THESE NUMBERS INDICATE THAT THIS LP IS THE ABSOLUTE FIRST PRESSING IT IS POSSIBLE TO FIND. THE DEAD WAX NUMBERS INDICATE THAT IT IS THAT EARLY.

IN ADDITION, THE DATE ON THE BACK OF THE COVER INDICATES THAT IT WAS PRODUCED IN APRIL 1959. THAT WOULD MEAN THAT IT MOST LIKELY IS THE COVER FOR AN EXTREMELY EARLY PRESSING.

SOUND AT THE TOP OF THE SOPRANO RANGE IS EERILY PRESENT ON FINE EQUIPMENT. YOU WILL NOT HEAR SOUND LIKE THIS OFTEN. GREAT BASS QUALITY OF THE ORCHESTRA. LOVELY SOUND-STAGING!
