Centre labels show 1967 on both sides. This appears to be unique to first pressings
No credits on release apart from songwriters on labels.
Vinyl: VG+ Play tested on a Rega P3 with Exact cartridge, through Spendor speakers. Background crackle is almost non existent, and it has a full rich sound. There are a few light hairlines on side1. A couple of scuffs on side 2, track 1, 'Tales of Brave Ulysses' (not feelable) which cause a couple of rapid pops. Nothing though that detracts from listening.
Sleeve: Cover is psychedelically vivid and laminated on both sides. Spine fully legible. In VG++ condition.
