No is TL 5448 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Fontana label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!! 

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition overall (apart from 1 detail clearly mentioned below)!!!!  Most of these 60s 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, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual for AT LEAST 95% of the record!!!!  It plays SUPERBLY with NO pops, NO jumps, NO sticks, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  And because this record has so VERY clearly barely been played AT ALL - the sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion either!!!!  However!  If you look REALLY closely at the record under bright light - you can see what looks like some 'groove wear' & a TINY mark at the beginning of 1 track. And on the beginning of this track ONLY - there is some intermittent crackling (though mostly NONE), and some intermittent loud clicks & pops.  This doesnt last too long and is virtually over by the first 1/3 of the track - though as I said before the rest of the LP plays SUPERBLY!!!!  Now I have played this through on TWO different systems (a high quality Technics & a fully restored Garrard Deck) and BOTH played it though fine (with a few loud clicks/pops as mentioned before) with NO jumps and NO sticks.  Sadly I cannot guarantee what any other deck will do (please note this) but I am telling the absolute TRUTH that my decks played this part through FINE (apart from the loud clicks/pops I am mentioning for the 3rd time now).  And visually this is NOT easy to notice AT ALL - and this record looks absolutely BRILLIANT!!!!  And please DONT forget that this is only an absolutely TINY part of the whole record - and the rest of the record plays absolutely SUPERBLY and looks STUNNING aswell!!!!  Without the detail mentioned above this record would EASILY grade Very Good++++ if not better (most would grade even higher still!) - and I will have to leave it to the winning bidder to decide how much the detail clearly mentioned above detracts from this!!!!  BRILLIANT LOOKING RECORD!!!!  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 SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press Flipback MONO Cover is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition and is very VERY hard to find like this!!!!  It has NO splits, barely ANY edge wear AT ALL (virtually NONE and a large part of BOTH top & bottom edges are completely UNWORN!), barely ANY spinal wear AT ALL (virtually NONE - and side words are still ALL readable!), NO rips, NO tears, only VERY slight corner wear, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, NO sticker marks, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the back of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, STUNNING flipbacks, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better and is very VERY hard to find in this condition!!!!  BRILLIANT COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
