“This is a very rare prerelease edition of this masterpiece. As stated on the back cover, this is limited to 200 copies. Some are numbered and autographed, although they are rarer than the non autographed and numbered copies. The cover is (at least partially) hand painted. The cover will show evidence such as the textured letters on front cover. Seen in the last two photos is a second example of a prerelease cover, shown with different coloring on cover and text. A larger splotch of paint is seen on this cover, further evidence of hand painting. This should come with a booklet, as shown in photos. Disc has original red labels and same matrix as silk screen first pressing, as well as having the Plastylite “P”. No deep groove on labels. Recorded in New York City, July 10th, 1964. © 1965 by ESP-DISK'”
