 IT IS TIME FOR ANOTHER DELIGHT FROM ONE OF THE UKs LEADING RECORD EXPERTS/DEALERS.  

TIME FOR A LITTLE ABOUT ME! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH ME ON EBAY SINCE 2002 AND INDEED ELSEWHERE BEFORE SINCE 1986, WILL PROBABLY KNOW I HAVE BEEN A RESPECTED DEALER,  MUSIC EXPERT AND COLLECTOR FOR MANY YEARS CALLED UPON BY RADIO,TV AND PRICE GUIDES FOR MY ADVICE AND KNOWLEDGE!! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS ONE IS IN STRICTLY GRADED NEAR MINT CONDITION.

NO CLICKS/NO STICKS!/NO JUMPS!/NO SWISHES!    

IN 1968,HARDLY ANY THOUGHT LONG TERM INVESTMENT AND MOST WERE STILL STICKING WITH MONO ISSUES,AND NATURALLY SOME STEREO COPIES WERE RUINED ON HEAVY AND EVEN MONO ONLY EQUIPMENT!!!!

The WIDE STEREO mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

A FANTASTIC ITEM!

GREAT INVESTMENT FROM ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING RECORD EXPERTS! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is NO spindle wear.  

THE PRINT IS STILL CLEAR TO READ.

THE COVER IS IN FABULOUS ORDER:A FEW MINOR CREASES BUT NO WEAR,NO WRITING,NO STAPLES,NO HOLE CUTS,NO REPAIRS,NO SELLOTAPE etc etc.  

Look elsewhere on ebay and MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often FAKES,reissues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER COPY-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION. FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "MINT"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY THE PHOTO!
