Made In: UK (Großbritannien)      Jahr: 1969   2. Pressung, vom Spätherbst 1969.                                                                                                                                                                                              Diese Pressung wird oft als Erstpressung vom Sommer 69 angeboten. Das Stimmt aber nicht, denn die Erstpressung hatte den Schriftzug “SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS, SEE PRICE LISTS” auf dem Label. Die ersten 7 Harvest – Pressungen (SHVL 751-757), bis Herbst 1969,  hatten diesen Aufdruck.                                                                                      Das schmälert zwar etwas meine Verkaufschancen, aber man sollte fair bleiben.                                                                                                                                                                                             Zustand: Die LP könnte man fast als “Near Mind“ bezeichnen, ich stufe sie aber trotzdem als “Very Good Plus“ ein, denn es sind einige leichte Oberflächenkratzer zu erkennen, die vermutlich vom Rausziehen aus der Innenhülle stammen,     ABER NICHT HÖRBAR sind. Das Cover ist  “Very Good “ Die Ecken sind nur leicht angestoßen, die Laminierung hat nur leichte Druckstellen und es ist KEIN “Record Ring“ als Abdruck vorhanden. Auch die weiße Innensite des Klapp-Covers ist noch in sehr gutem Zustand.

Made In : United Kingdom ( Great Britain) year: 1969 second pressing , from late autumn 1969. This pressing is often offered as the first pressing, from the summer of 69 . But that is not true , because the first pressing has the words " SOLD IN UK SUBJECT TO RESALE PRICE CONDITIONS , SEE PRICE LISTS " on the label . The first 7 Harvest - pressings ( SHVL 751-757 ) until the fall of 1969 , had this imprint. Although this reduces some of my opportunities for a good price, but It’s  better to be fair .

Condition: The LP could almost be described as  "Near Mind ," but I classify lt as “Very Good Plus”, because there are some slight surface scratches visible, probably dating from pulling out of the innersleeve , BUT ARE NOT AUDIBLE  . The cover goes as "Very Good" The corners are only slightly chipped off , the lamination has nearly no damge and there is NOT a "Record Ring " visible . The white inner site of the gatefold-cover is still in very good condition.
