THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS TRACK LABEL, 1ST PRESS A1/B1 MATRIX ENDINGS, BOTH LABELS MISSPELL AS “GIPSIES” AND ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 'PUPPET' COVER.  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS CONDITION.

FINDING AN ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP WITH A 'PUPPET COVER' IN ANY CONDITION IS INCREDIBLY TOUGH - BUT FINDING ONE IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION IS REALLY DIFFICULT! 

IT PROBABLY BE A LONG TIME BEFORE YOU GET THE CHANCE TO OWN THIS LEGENDARY LP IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION AGAIN!  

NOT ONLY THAT BUT IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THIS LP WAS ONLY EVER PRESSED WITH THIS 1ST PRESS 'PUPPET' COVER FOR AN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNT OF TIME - BEFORE THE SLEEVE WAS CHANGED TO THE 2ND GATEFOLD COVER AND THE QUICKLY TO THE STANDARD (AND MUCH MORE COMMON) 'ISLE OF WIGHT' COVER!

THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS TRACK LABEL, 1ST PRESS A1/B1 MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 'PUPPET' COVER! 

This is the original Track UK 1st pressing from 1970 and is in AMAZING condition! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Catalogue Number is 2406 002 on the 1st Press Track label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st pressing (there were No Mono Pressings)

The record labels are in excellent condition with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few spindle marks!  The thick vinyl is in AWESOME condition! Most of these 60s/70s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scuff lines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs that are only visible under EXTREME light! 

THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL JUST PRESSED LOOK AND IS NEAR MINT! (I only grade mint to records that have never been played and usually are sealed)

The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press sleeve with puppets of Jimi Hendrix, Brian Jones, Bob Dylan and John Peel which is in very good condition with NO tears, NO yellowing and NO writing! The spine has some feathering and the right hand top corner hasminor peeling and wear. 

THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
