    I may see an error. Shouldn't the side B matrix read "SIDE-2"?

      This is an oddball. My guess is it uses East coast labels, but was pressed on the West coast. East Coast pressings always used a non-DG die, and the West Coast early pressings were all DG. There were probably leftover East coast labels and the West coast plant used them after running out of official (Side A/Side B) labels.

        I bought a version that is exactly like this, label, deep groove etc., a part for the Side A/B instead of 1/2. Can someone help me find the version?

          ... "East coast stereo torso version". Nice!
