Insanely rare collector copy first US monaural pressing with the machine stamped "AudioMatrix", which belonged to Audio Matrix, Inc., located in Bronx, New York and made metal pressing components including masters, mothers and stampers to the record manufacturing industry. Their work always had machine stamped "AudioMatrix" in the dead wax more often than not almost unreadable as stampers wear led to the depth of the actual stamp getting more shallow. The vinyl has some very light surface scuffs and hairlines, retaining its beautiful gloss and lustre
