This is the early (and most valuable) pressing with a solid dark-green label and black, Old-English style logo print. The labels have ringwear, and the A label looks like something spilled on it. (The A label grade is G, and the B label grade is EX; so the overall label grade is VG.) The vinyl (styrene) is pretty scuffed up. Despite appearances, the audio is EX. Note: The A side is ranked #175 in the Marsh 1001, and the B side is at #92.
