My Favorite Things LP
,
Atlantic SD-1361.
This album is sealed in the thicker and stronger old style clear plastic, the type commonly used in the late 50's to mid 60's, not the thin brittle type used in the late 60's and on.  The feel, texture and aged look of the shrink makes it obvious that this is the original vintage shrink.  It also has the thick inflexible vinyl and very heavy weight (almost 11oz).   Although I can't be sure, everything is consistent with the original 1st press in 1961 or 2nd press in 1962.  You can't tell which one without seeing the labels.  What I can say is that this album weighs 3/4 oz more than the 1962 black fan label album and the 1841 Broadway label album.  I have them all.  So it's indicative that it could very well be a 1961 or 1962.
Although the shrink has a few scrapes and a little wear on some corners, it has done a great job protecting this album.  The cover is in great shape, almost no wear but it does have a little push on lower left corner (not noticeable on back side) and the scuff/rip in the paste-over slick on the top above 'Coltrane'.  Otherwise a super sweet album with VERY strong edges and spine
