UK 1ST PRESS - MEGA RARE!!!
1. BLUE/BLACK LABELS WITH SILVER TEXT

4. 1G/1G STAMPERS BOTH SIDES!
5. LAMINATED FLIPBACK SLEEVE "Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse, Ltd, Patents Pending" text on rear of sleeve.
FULLY PLAYGRADED: I do not not simply glance at records to give a superficial visual grading, this has been fully played and graded throughout (listened to on headphones - the most revealing playgrade method, with no exterior audio distractions).
VINYL: (stamped matrices:)
X A X 3 6 3 3 - 1 1 G
X A X 3 6 3 4 - 1 1 G
Superb looking vinyl, very nice and shiny with barely any visible superficial marks. Excellent/Very Good playback, superb tone! Light-moderate background hiss/crackle on run ins/fade outs, LOUD audio mostly covers background noise, but it is audible on the quieter moments, more prominent on side 2 quieter moments. There are 3 light clicks on side 2 run in but do not appear once music starts. NO jumps or sticks. Plays very well throughout, EX to VG (side 1 grade then side 2 grade)
LABELS:
Nice and clean with thankfully NO graffiti. Several visible spindle traces.
OUTER SLEEVE:
Original sleeve by Garrod & Lofthouse complete with correct date code of 6807, indicating a July 1968 production run, printed in England and laminated front and unlaminated rear in good overall condition. Moderate wear, slightly 'wrinkled' sleeve, does not sit flat, looks a little bent here and there. No major creases, just some light laminate ones. Moderate wear to corners. Back has some fading and a rust mark.
EDGES
Pretty good thanks to laminate protection, NO seam splits! Opening edges are reasonably well thumbed and used.
SPINE:
Excellent, still very legible. Some wear and also a little bent - could be flattened out with care...
INNER SLEEVE:
Poly lined, not original.
POSTAGE AND PACKING:
I recycle as much existing material as possible and reuse record mailers if they are of good enough quality, otherwise brand new mailers are used. Edges and corners are reinforced with packing tape. Stiffeners are used to strengthen and support the record.
Vinyl is removed from the outer gatefold to prevent any 'knifing' to the outer sleeve.
THIS VERY RARE ITEM WILL ONLY SHIP WITH 'SIGNED FOR DELIVERY' IN THE UK AND ABROAD.
Feedback is left for buyers once they have contacted me and left feedback stating they are happy with their purchase. Should there be any issues, please contact me first.
I ship worldwide. Item will be shipped in board-stiffened mailers for maximum protection.
