Laminated gatefold jacket. While the bottom of the back cover reads: "PRINTED IN U.S.A. A PRODUCT OF ABC-PARAMOUNT RECORDS, INC." the bottom of the labels read: "A PRODUCT OF AM PAR RECORD CORP PRINTED IN U.S.A" in white text, and not "...ABC PARAMOUNT."

Also not to be confused with a different release that has a different typeface and 'AS-32 A' & 'AS-32 B' on the center labels, whereas this one has 'AS-32' without any side indicating suffix, similar to other original pressings.

This is the first Stereo Pressing per LJC as it has Am-Par labels front and back. This was a very popular album and likely later pressed many times on the orange and black ABC Paramount labels.

The Am-Par label changed to ABC Paramount at A-33. Titles A33 and below on an orange/black ring label with an Am-Par footer are original first pressings. If the label is orange/black ring but has text saying ABC Paramount or ABC Records, or any of the later labels, it would be a later pressing.
 
   This is a first pressing. Comes with a plain white sleeve.
