​
Originally released as a mono album in October 1958, this LP, a consistent big seller, was deleted from catalogue by RCA just two months earlier. This release was repackaged with a new catalogue number and presented in "electronic stereo" instead of mono. The classic front cover was now updated with a more recent image taken from the 1968 NBC TV Special. There was no booklet with this version.
​
​
NOTE: This LP was issued using the matrix number M2WY. This version was given the M2 (1961) and WY matrix due to it's "electronic stereo" makeover in 1961.
M2 = 1961 WY = Stereo LP
Side 1: M2WY 4733 Side 2: M2WY 4734
​
​
NOTE: This album was kept in stock by re-pressings using this catalogue number. It was later assigned a new number when released on the International Label in 1981.
