        I found this for $1 at a flea market in NM. Probably the best find I've ever had hunting

          I'm in shock at how good this copy sounds. I thought it might be a counterfeit, or somehow a newer version put into an older sleeve. But no, exact same runout info (F-2533 H / F-2534 H). Someone took good care of this copy; pristine and silent vinyl.

            My center label reads "FAN 85019" but is not stamped "Promo" as jimmiescoffee post below is. Also in the dead wax the second number is scratched out and the "2" is placed below the scratched out number. F-2534-1. Trying to see what I have here. Do not see a unique listing.

              ive got a promo copy of this. blue fantasy label. right side of label says "FAN 85019" unlike these photos which are just "85019." a couple of very small other center label differences. the fantasy logo is stamped "NOT FOR SALE" only on the side one. anyone know this copy (is it just this one)? bc I do not see a unique listing for it.

                      Back in the 80s, I borrowed a friend's Lp to put on tape. He had one of the early versions without the sides listed on the labels and I paid no mind to the side serials under the word STEREO. I thought the album started with "Christmas Time Is Here Again" vocal version and ended with the instrumental version, so I recorded it that way and found out I was wrong when I finally bought my own on vinyl sometime later that had the sides marked on the label. I was so used to listening to the album starting with side 2, that to this day I always play side 2 first or reorder my track listing when playing the CD. It flows much better that way.
