No is SX 6293 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Columbia Label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!! 

The record labels are in BRILLIANT condition (see pictures) with NO wear (apart from the TINY touch around the centre holes!), NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!!   However - this record is simple to describe.  It is what is commonly termed in the record collecting world as 'a decent player'.  I.e. it plays through fine - with NO jumps, and NO sticks - but has a few visual imperfections on either side (though absolutely NOTHING deep or nasty!)!!!!  However almost ALL of these visual details are LIGHT and do NOT affect play!!!!  And the sound quality itself is still pretty good in superb MONO!!!!  However, although the record is still VERY bright and shiny, there are a few light hairlines, 3 or 4 TINY residue spots, only 2 or 3 light scufflines, and only some VERY light paper scuffing only visible under light!!!!  That said (as mentioned before) the record still plays through FINE - with NO skips, only a few light clicks, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  There is some expected background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - though this is lost WAY behind ALL but the VERY quietest parts of the music ONLY (and as 99% of this LP is very VERY loud indeed, this means there are barely ANY quiet parts AT ALL!)!!!!  There is also NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  So if you want a VERY decent & presentable (and still bright & shiny!) example to play - and can live with a few visual details on either side, then this is definitely worth considering!!!!  And of course, its rarity factor can NOT be understated - especially in MONO!!!!  That said - I will only MEGA STRICTLY give this record the lowest possible grading of a record that does not jump - Fair+ (PROPERLY graded, NOT wrecked!) if not better!!!!  That said, I suspect many would grade higher still!!!!  So definitely still a VERY presentable copy - which still plays through FINE!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!!  Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' MONO Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (apart from a few TINY creases!), only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few VERY light creases elsewhere (cover is VERY flat looking!), NO rips, NO tears, shiny laminate (with the usual record laminate impression), NO splits, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing (apart from a slight touch to the flipbacks), NO rubbing, only 1 TINY 'age spot', NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY decent cover indeed, with NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY IN MEGA RARE MONO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
