 Here is a little info I found about the record:

 

What Makes The Original My Bonnie 45 So Rare And Collectible ?

Quite simply, the collector's value of the original April 1962 disc is based on the fact that so few copies have survived to this day. There are only 5 or 6 copies of this record known to exist.

Original copies can be identified by the stamping marks in the run-out areas on either side of the vinyl disc. As stated above, the original 1962 Canadian Decca 45 was pressed from metal masters sent up from the U.S. Matrix numbers are machine-stamped into the vinyl (using the same matrix numbers that are printed on the Decca label). Machine-stamped matrix numbers on run-out area of A-side is “DGG-66833 A4” and machine-stamped matrix number on run-out area of the B-side is “DGG-24673 (backwards B)4”.



    All the matrix info is exactly the same as this record including the backwards B.

 I have been asked to elaborate on the condition:
   I would say the record shows signs of wear with slight scuffing, while retaining much of its gloss with only slight greying, and light scratch's that cause light crackles in the quiet parts. Having said that, the record sounds loud and clear and the surface noise is not pronounced and does not take away from listening pleasure. No warps, skips, cracks or any serious defect or problem.  Please use the photos to judge the label condition...I would say they are in excellent condition.
