No is PMC 7047 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Yellow & Black 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 only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  A VERY NICE SET OF LABELS INDEED!!!!  And even though the vinyl may not be in 100% PERFECT condition - it is still VERY bright & shiny and plays WELL!!!!  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 at first glance this record looks VERY nice indeed, with a SUPERB glossy look!!!!  However, under light you can see a few TINY hairline type marks, 2 or 3 light scufflines, quite a few light hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD IS STILL VERY BRIGHT AND SHINY LOOKING INDEED!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays EVEN BETTER than the visual with only a few VERY light clicks/pops (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  And the BEST tracks on the LP 'So Much' (NO clicks, NO pops!), 'Living Room' (barely ANY clicks!) & 'Art School Student' (only 2 or 3 pops!), all play BRILLIANTLY!!!!  The record must MEGA STRICTLY visually grade Fair+ (PROPERLY graded!) - though the playing grade is way WAY better than this, and this record plays VERY well indeed!!!!  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 comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' MONO Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear (apart from an absolutely TINY touch on the top edge!), NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear, only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with barely ANY grubbyness AT ALL, only VERY slight rubbing, NO ringwear, NO yellowing, only 2 or 3 TINY marks on the flipbacks (these are VERY small indeed!), and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still VERY presentable indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY IN MEGA RARE MONO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
