This is a unique example of an already rare record. The center core was not pushed out. Another unique aspect of this record is that the labels are on the opposite side of their respective side. A look at the hand-etched trail-off area will confirm that the catalog numbers do match those to the label. This copy was offered by Heritage Auctions, however did not meet the reserve.
