On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Moody Blues called "Question" and is an ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Threshold label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE MOODY BLUES RAREST LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  BACK IN 1970 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS (AS A 1ST PRESSING!), AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY CHANGED!!!!  AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!!  IT IS ALSO 100% COMPLETE WITH ITS ORIGINAL 'LYRIC' INSERT (SO OFTEN MISSING!)!!!!

AND FOR ONCE THIS LP HAS A FULLY INTACT 'POSTER FLAP'!!!!  THIS 'POSTER FLAP' WAS ONLY INCLUDED WITH ALL 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY - AND WAS AN EXTRA 'FLAP' INCLUDED AT ONE END OF THE GATEFOLD!!!!  MANY PEOPLE 'GUESS' AT WHAT THIS IS - WITH MOST INCORRECTLY THINKING IT WAS TO 'PROTECT THE RECORD'.  WELL CLEARLY THAT IS NOT THE CASE!!!!  THE WHOLE ARTWORK ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE GATEFOLD WERE DESIGNED AND PRINTED VERTICALLY.  AND THE FLAP WAS ADDED TO ONE END (ON 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY!) SO IT COULD BE HUNG ON A WALL, A BIT LIKE A CALENDAR IS TODAY!!!!  THE FLAP HAS A TINY FACTORY MADE STAMPED 'HOLE' IN IT FOR HANGING THE WHOLE THING ON THE WALL AS A MASSIVE POSTER!!!!  HOWEVER THIS WAS BADLY THOUGH OUT AS THE COVER WAS FAR TOO HEAVY FOR THE FLAP TO HANDLE!!!!  AND THIS IS WHY IT WAS REMOVED STRAIGHT AFTER RELEASE (WITH A STANDARD GATEFOLD WITH NO FLAP!), AND THIS IS ALSO WHY 99% OF COPIES TODAY HAVE THE FLAP ON THE END COMPLETELY DESTROYED!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY SUPERB CONDITION!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1970 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS THRESHOLD LABEL, 1ST PRESS 1/1 MATRIX ENDINGS, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS 'LYRIC' INSERT, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' GATEFOLD 'PATENTS PENDING' COVER (+ POSTER FLAP!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Threshold UK 1st Pressing from 1970 and is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is THS 3 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Threshold label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st Pressing (there were NO Monos!)!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in SUPERB condition!!!!  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, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light surface traces, 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 LOOKS SUPERB!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound in places (though mostly NONE!)!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  SUPERB 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 ULTRA RARE 'LYRIC' INSERT IS IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASN'T EVER LEFT THE COVER!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Gatefold 'Patents Pending' Cover (+ Poster Flap!) is in SUPERB condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (PERFECT colour!), NO splits, NO rips, NO tears, NO sticker marks, NO sticker tears, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO ringwear, NO rubbing, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), a couple of creases to the poster flap (this is unavoidable - and there are NO rips, and NO tears AT ALL!), NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the inside of the cover is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent+ if not better!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS (ESPECIALLY AS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE + 'POSTER FLAP' COVER!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
