In this case the damage was done to an extremely common record!!!  There 
are ELEVEN copies of it on ebay right at this very moment.  Just do a 
search for Dennis Day.  The ones with the red stripe at the bottom are 
mono, the stereos have a white logo stripe at the top.  Several copies 
are in a group of other LPs.  And now that I think of it, I have seen 
styrene pressings of this, but some are vinyl.
