THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from a few years later-This ESSENTIAL  LP pressed within the first few MONTHS of issue from the SPRING of 1964 when MANFRED MANN were starting to have hits!

IT SHOWS JUST HOW GOOD THEY WERE AT R&B FOR THE UK BUT THERE ARE SOME ORIGINAL SONGS,6 INFACT ALONGSIDE SOME VERY RESPECTABLE COVERS! 

ONE OF THE BAND'S BEST, SONGS THAT WOULD INFLUENCE MILLIONS OF OTHER MUSICIANS!

THEY HAD AN IMPRESSIVE RUN OF HITS IN THE 1960s and 1970s AND ARE STILL GOING STRONG WITH SOME ORIGINAL MEMBERS AS THE MANFREDS!

************************************************** 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH ONLY ULTRA FAINT SURFACE MARKS IN STRONG LIGHT AND A LITTLE SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE BUT THAT IS BEING VERY STRICT!

MOST WOULD STATE EXCELLENT! 

NO JUMPS!/NO STICKS!/NO NASTY CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!  

Copies of this album were being sold in huge quantities but how many were preserved like this one ??!!!!!!  

In those early days with LIMITED exposure on Radio and TV, POP LPs were carefully considered and saved for items.

The Mono mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

THE MONO MIXES WERE THOSE THAT THE BAND OVERLOOKED AND HAD TOTAL INVOLVEMENT WITH! 

Those that were sticking with mono were usually using terrible old and heavy equipment and using worn styli or nasty autochangers that would scuff the discs forever in seconds.

Also the Stereo mixes are very hard to listen to with vocals one side and most of the backing on the other.

The MONO mixes are far punchier but is rather flat on the CDs that have come out!

IN MANY CASES TOTALLY DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO VERSIONS WITH FASCINATING VARIATIONS-EXTRA EFFECTS AND GUITAR"LICKS"!

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear MANFRED MANN and always will be!  

GREAT SOLID SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is HARDLY ANY spindle wear!!!

THESE LABELS ARE QUITE STUNNING!!!!!! 

NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!

PLEASE SEE BOTH PHOTOS! 

The surface marks are MINIMAL AND FAINT!  

NO DEEP MARKS!

NO NASTY SCUFFS!

THE COVER HAS SOME TINY EDGE CREASES AND  SOME STAINING AT THE BACK, BUT NO WRITING, NO NASTY RIPS,SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,STAPLES,HOLE CUTS ETC.

SPINE DETAILS-CLEAR,SHARP AND NOT SQUASHED DOWN OR WORN. 

 Look elsewhere on ebay and you will see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

ORIGINAL HMV LPs ADVERT  INNER SLEEVE.  

THE LP ITSELF AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTOS!
