To date, neither the original UK nor US mono versions have been officially released on CD

The disc is housed within a front laminated 'Ernest J. Day' printed cover, complete with original poly-lined inner-sleeve
CONDITION
Disc
Labels: NEAR MINT
A clean & totally unworn pair showing just two or three well-aimed spindle trails around each completely unworn centre hole
Visual: EXCELLENT +
Pristine, deep-gloss playing surfaces which are totally free form any surface marks or wear when viewed in strong daylight. Closer examination directly beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp reveals some harmless inner-sleeve storage marks which have no effect on the sound quality and is the only factor preventing a higher grade
Sound Quality: MINT
Played no more than once or twice by its original owner to tape, the exquisite & superior mono mix shines throughout on this flawless sounding copy. My playcheck detected absolutely no trace of any groove/playwear distortion or any ticks, clicks or any other audible distractions. You will not need to upgrade this.
Cover: EXCELLENT +
An outstanding example of this easily worn cover which retains an unscratched high-gloss laminate, completely free from any 'thumbnails' or any other significant signs of wear
Apart from a few tiny wrinkles along the upper edge, there is little else to fault on the front panel
All corners are sharp & square with no bumps or bruising to any and both opening edges are sharp & unworn
The rear panel is clean & unworn with the only fault being a small name written in the upper left corner
The spine is perfectly clean & unbent with a clear and unworn text
Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +
