I believe this is an early first press of the black/gold label as the stampers on side one are at 9 0'clock 2 at 11 o'clock 1 and at 3 o'clock RD, side two at 9 o'clock 1 with 2 directly beneath it and at 3 o'clock G and what looks like 1.1 but could be M. Visually the record has a lot of scratches some look quite deep and the labels are fading slightly. I have to be perfectly honest and say when I played the record it is warped and has very loud crackles between tracks and some pops/crackles throughout but still played very well on side one, side two has a small skip on track 3 and more surface noise than side one but considering all the scratches it played remarkably well :-). Not the best example but worth having for the early stampers. The cover is the 'gold' Ernest J Day cover with photo by Angus McBean starting far right. The cover is worn and has got signs of repair but still good for its age. I have tried to show this in the photos. Starting at what I consider low for such an early (if not in the greatest condition) press
