Rush back there and pick up all of the other Heritage Series discs, especially in the gold sleeves.  These are original master pressings.

These are on-demand pressings of out of print items.  The 87xxx number is the record number and the #4563 is the customer order number.  If the guy ordered five records that time, all the records in that order would have this number.  Occasionally there were unissued masters ordered this way.
