Columbia Masterworks 1948 first 33rpm 12" LP release ever

1b and 12 both sides
The first pressing of this iconic LP, with "LONG PLAYING MICROGROOVE" on two lines, a large 'LP' logo at the bottom right and two lines of rim text and circular icons of the double quaver and microphone to the left of the text appears on introduction in June, 1948 and to have stopped in September, 1948.
Later versions have the "LONG PLAYING MICROGROOVE" on one line at the bottom of the labels with the 'LP' logo in the center of the text. This version started in September 1948 and continued into 1949.
So, although not the first label pressing it is technically the second label version of the 1st pressing indicated by the the runoff stamps. So it still qualifies as a 1st pressing of the new 33rpm technology.
This is the version shown here and you would be purchasing this version should you decide choose it.
