LOVE - FOREVER CHANGES
A truly excellent plus (EX+) condition, rare and much sought after 1968 UK early press STEREO copy of this rock classic with gleaming vinyl and tremendous sound quality
1968 ELEKTRALabel number : EKS 74013
Matrix numbers : EKS 74013 A1 / EKS 74013 B1
This is another of those records which when the stylus hits the side 1 dead wax run-in all that can be heard is silence - making it so hard to believe that this record is a 54 year old antiquity - and comes from a collector who was fastidious in the way he treated his record collection, storing each record upright and giving meticulous care and attention to each record for the lifetime of that record to date.
Truly excellent plus (EX+) condition vinyl - weighty and completely flat with just a few wispiest of wispy hairlines on each side - all purely superficial, only detectable with close scrutiny under a bright light and certainly nothing to impinge upon the wonderful STEREO sound quality. In normal daylight both sides of the vinyl gleam, giving off a beautiful jet black sheen - so impressive for a 54 year old record! Excellent (EX) labels - unmarked apart from just a few very faint spindle trails on each label. The both side fully laminated outer sleeve remains in excellent (EX) condition. No cardboard creasing, no edge scuffing at all, each corner remaining a nicely defined right angle with absolutely minimal rubbing, no obvious laminate lifting, and all art work, photos, and text remain beautifully intact. The only blemishes are x6 1cm laminate crinkles adjacent and perpendicular to the spine on the front side and another x4 barely visible laminate creases, also on the front side towards the middle of the opening edge, and a few very light and small storage/handling marks on the top edge - all very trivial and superficial but which I have tried to include in my photos. Superb excellent plus (EX+) STEREO audio quality with no skips, jumps, repeats, clicks, background interference or crackle at all. Great tone and clarity throughout even at higher volume and frequencies. Comes with original excellent condition poly-lined inner sleeve with no edge splits, tears, edge fraying or obvious creasing. just some mild age discolouration towards the top edge. A brilliant copy of this UK early press psych classic.
POSTAGE For the UK £5 using Royal Mail 1st class signed for (for items selling for more than £200 I send Royal Mail special delivery and incur the extra cost myself);
for continental Europe £14 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked and signed for,
and for the rest of the world £20 using Royal Mail 1st class tracked and signed for.
I do provide posting and packaging discounts for multiple purchases. I make no profit from postage.
Note that when packing I always separate the inner sleeve and vinyl from the outer sleeve to help prevent seam splits, and insert the vinyl into a separate plain white inner sleeve in order to further protect the original. I use thick cardboard stiffeners and take great care to ensure as far as possible that these precious records reach their destination in exactly the same condition as when they leave me.
If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige.

A bit about myself : I have been collecting UK vinyl for over 53 years from a variety of sources : my own collection, friends and family, car boot and garage sales, door-to-door leaflets, and even through placing an advert in my wife's shop window! My ebay feedback speaks for itself so rest assured that you are buying from a trusted seller and in the very unlikely event that you are unhappy with your purchase just e-mail me and I will sort out the problem. I offer a "no questions asked" refund policy. If you require any further information, including photos, then let me know and I'll do my best to oblige. There is NO RESERVE on this item. Richard
