FULL AND COMPLETE TEXT (SEE PICTURE) ON THE INSIDE OF THE COVER (LATER ONES DONT!), AND THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS LABELS, WITH NO SPACING BETWEEN THE TWO LINES ON THE SIDE 2 TEXT (LATER ONES DO!)!!!!

AND AS THIS LP RECENTLY CAME STRAIGHT FROM A CLOSED DOWN ARCHIVE LONDON RECORD LIBRARY (FROM ONE OF THE NOW DEFUNCT PUBLISHING COMPANIES RELATED TO THIS LP!) IT IS NO SURPRISE TO SEE A 100% GENIUNE 'FACTORY SAMPLE' STICKER ON THE SIDE 1 LABEL (AS IT WAS SENT TO THE PUBLISHING COMPANY DIRECTLY FROM THE FACTORY!)!!!!

AND AS THE COVER IS IN SUCH STUNNING CONDITION (RARE FOR A 100% GENIUNE 1ST PRESS COVER!) IT IS IMPORTANT TO SHOW THAT IT IS A 100% GENIUNE 1ST PRESS COVER - AND NOT ONE FROM A FEW YEARS LATER!!!!  FIRSTLY THE COVER IS A 'ONE-PIECE' COVER AND FOLDS OVER AT THE BOTTOM AND JOINS ON THE INSIDE OF THE TOP (LATER ONES DON'T!)!!!!  SECONDLY IT HAS THE COMPLETE COVER TEXT IN THE INSIDE OF THE COVER (LATER ONES DONT!)!!!!  THIRDLY THE COVER HAS ITS 1ST PRESS ONLY VERY DEEP AND VIVID COLOUR (LATER ONES WERE PALER INSTEAD!)!!!!  BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY THE COVER HAS ITS VERY DISTINCTIVE 1ST PRESS ONLY HEAVY TEXTURE (LATER ONES WERE LESS TEXTURED!), AND IS FULLY TEXTURED INSIDE AND OUT (LATER ONES WERENT!)!!!!  SO THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL - THAT THIS IS A 100% GENIUNE UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS COVER, AND DEFINITELY NOT A LATER SWOPPED ONE!!!!

No is SHVL 795 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Harvest 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 VERY few light spindle marks!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s/70s 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, only 1 long (but NON sounding!) scuffline, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  It is also worth noting, that 1 side of the record does have 3 or 4 VERY small 'bag sweat' traces at the VERY edge of the record (which I can only presume is down to storage in the Archive Record Library), whereas the other side is jet black!!!!  Thats said these are VERY faint and do not affect play in the slightest!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, barely ANY clicks AT ALL, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY low level background sound in places!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  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 Harvest inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition and still FULLY 'poly-lined'!!!!  The ORIGINAL 'Earliest' 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Gatefold 'FULLY Textured' Cover is in absolutely STUNNING condition for once!!!!  And as shown above, it is for once a 100% GENIUNE UK 1st Press cover - and definitely NOT a later swopped one!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (PERFECT side words & colour for once!), NO sticker marks, NO splits, NO sticker tears, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour!), NO rips, NO tears, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the extreme corner tips, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  And INCREDIBLY apart from 2 or 3 VERY small creases near the back opening edge, the cover is virtually UNCREASED and is PERFECTLY flat looking!!!!  Even the spine is 100% straight and UNBROKEN!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the 'textured' inside of the cover is in AWESOME condition with NO yellowing, NO grubbyness, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, 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 - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
