I have a pressing that appears to be exactly the same as the current description except for the matrix: A side: SMAS-1-2653 G-45 #3 (etched) (circle with x through it) MASTERED BY CAPITOL (stamped) J. Lemay (etched) ━◁B-side: SMAS-2-2653 G-52 #6 (etched) MASTERED BY CAPITOL (stamped) J.

Great sound on this version, hidden gem among repressings.

Agree with jcon ...a hidden gem pressing. We got ahold of a sealed copy last year and have spun it a few times and there are very few others I'd trade it for.
