EVERYTHING'S EVENTUAL VINYL
**RARE ORIGINAL U.K. LP**
FIRST PRESSING
(Boxed and Un-boxed Stereo Labels were both used at this time)
I understand the general rule of thumb behind the assertion that only the "Unboxed" label constitutes a First Press. However, I did research the LP and am using the information from 'Discogs' website and Decca Label sites which tell me that at the time of this release 'Boxed' and 'Unboxed' labels were used interchangeably for the 'Stereo' version. My understanding is that the changeover from Unboxed to Boxed version labels took place during the fall of 1969 which does fit the time frame of this LP. Discogs also gives the matrix/run-outs for the first Stereo press as exactly those I have given in this listing. The Boxed Version from 1969 is still considered a "First U.K. release". The Matrix/Run-out numbers given for the 1970 reissue are different. .

First UK release.This release has blue ''boxed'' Decca labels but these first issues contain both the boxed logo and the unboxed logo. The labels were used interchangeably.
The cover is laminated on front only and a lyrics insert is included.
The back cover has an ''indicator hole'' to let the inner sleeve peep through: red = mono, blue = stereo.
Also available in mono (LK 4990).

PLEASE READ: GRADING AND EVALAUTION
Grading records is not a ‘Scientific’ exercise, instead it is a subjective activity. I do my best to listen carefully to both sides of the record before grading based on the listening experience. Flaws, if any, that I hear will be reflected in the grade rating, and if noteworthy, will be mentioned. The nature of how records are played (i.e. physical contact between the moving grooves and the stylus tip) makes it a medium where flaws are often inherent in the process. Also, please keep in mind that there may well be subtle differences between turntables. Records are not the ‘sterile’ medium of CDs. Flaws generally range from somewhat normal quiet background noise in run-ins between tracks to more serious issues such as pressing flaws, groove wear, skips, repeats and long scratches producing consistent ticks or pops.
I try to follow a grading system similar to Goldmine where I will have NM, NM-, VG+, VG, VG- etc. I may also have combinations such as VG+/NM-. Generally, I do not sell records below the VG+ rating unless somewhat rare, in which case I will point out the issues.
If, after purchase, you find disagreement with my grading I would ask that you contact me FIRST. For example, if I have graded NM and you feel that at best the record is VG+, please, rather than leave a low rating (3 stars or less) for “Item as Described” let me know. I am not perfect and will do my best to remedy the situation.
