Very early first pressing with Matrix ID ABCS 335 A-1 (no "Bell Sound etc) with hype sticker on front "Includes the Hit Georgia on My Mind"
Notes:
Black labels with white and silver text, and rainbow ABC-Paramount logo. Bottom of labels and bottom of back cover both have "A product of Am-Par Record Corp." credit, which identifies this as a first or early stereo pressing given that company was renamed in 1962. A very similar (but likely slightly later) pressing exists with "A product of ABC-Paramount Records, Inc." credit at bottom of labels here: [r=2900956. Front sleeve may have a factory sticker stating 'This album contains the hit single Georgia On My Mind'. Band members are not credited on this release.
