Notes:

First mono release variant, issued on dark grey Capitol "long playing" labels.

Only "LONG PLAYING" on labels and no reference to "T-Rim". "U. S. Patent No. 2,631,859" at bottom of track list, not in rim text. No trademarked logos for Capitol or Full Dimensional Sound (FDS) in rim text. 
This label style was introduced in 1956 and was followed quickly by labels shown in [r=2144452 that include the omissions noted above. These labels ran concurrently through 1957.

Cat. # W824 appears on jacket spine, back cover, top right and front cover, top left.
