This is a beautiful, Near Mint copy of the first-issue, blue Karen label (inked on). Note: This copy comes in a vintage Atlantic/Atco Records factory sleeve. The label is as close to perfect as I've seen with this kind of inked-on process; still, I'm grading it Near Mint. The A side audio is pristine Mint, but curiously the B side has a faint touch of distortion; the audio grade, M-, is an average of the two sides.
