From Atco Records (33-226) this is AGAIN by BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD, an original (first ) US mono pressing from November 18, 1967. Heavy American-style jacket is very clean and sturdy showing moderate shelf wear (see pictures); colours are bright and vibrant. Rates VG+ or better. Original inner sleeve shows minor toning but no tears or wrinkles (VG+). 

Labels show spindle marks and playing surfaces have a few buffs and hairlines (VG); play grades VG+ to EX+ and better. Absolutely no distortion even in the more dynamic passages and even when played at higher volumes. This is an old-timey rounded edge pressing.
