Nice copy but unfortunately I am one of those collectors dedicated to first pressings... Thank you anyways!

Speaking of first pressing geekdom... seems to me there should be an earlier pressing of the Morton record given that it's a 1907 recording date but I can't find any evidence of it. Anyone have any ideas?
