Description
This is a massively rare original first Mono pressing of the 1968 Incredible String Band album ‘The Hangman’s Beautiful Daughter’. A long standing top drawer collectors item for aficionados of 60s Psych & Folk; so hard to find as an original, especially on exceptionally well cared for and brilliant sounding first issue vinyl like this so don’t miss out...

RECORD CONDITION
Labels: EXCELLENT
The labels are the original textured orange labels in great unblemished condition. Neither of the labels have any writing or marks, they both look absolutely clean and superb. There is some spindle wear but it is only very minor, showing that this original album was definitely not over-used.
Visual: EXCELLENT
The whole surface of the vinyl has a brilliant clean sheen and still looks absolutely superb. There are no bad marks to report, no gashes or manufacturers defects in the vinyl. A strong light reveals a few light paper scuffs and the odd tiny hairline but that really is it; there are no major signs of wear on this very well cared for original record.
Play: EXCELLENT
The audio is loud and clear through both playing sides of this record with no lessening in the sound quality. Anything you pick up in the audio is only what you’d expect from a 42 year old used disc; the very occasional bit of non-intrusive background noise and perhaps the odd isolated pop or click but never anything that can spoil your enjoyment of the music.
COVER CONDITION
Fully laminated sleeve and original insert: EXCELLENT
The whole cover remains completely intact with no serious damage or wear. There are a few very light laminate creases, especially around the edges, visible under certain light angles but these are mainly the general small ones you see on most laminated sleeves. The spine is smooth and completely un-scuffed with clearly legible text; the top and bottom edges are smooth with just the odd tiny scuff but basically fine. There isn’t any majorly visible ring-wear other than the faint circular impression of a record visible under light. The original insert is still complete although it has come apart down the fold; an easily rectified fault should a future owner wish to attend to it. Basically this is a still intact and supremely well cared for original album package.
