THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!! THIS WAS STATUS QUO'S FIRST & RAREST LP EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!! JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! BACK IN 1968 WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED - IT ONLY EVER SOLD IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS, AND WAS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY DELETED!!!! AS A RESULT IT IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND INCREDIBLY HARD TO LOCATE TODAY!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL - AND THOUGH IT ISNT PERFECT, IT IS VERY PRESENTABLE AND PLAYS VERY WELL INDEED!!!! JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!! THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS PYE LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED 'PATENTS PENDING' MONO COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the ORIGINAL Pye UK 1st pressing from 1968 and is in GREAT condition overall!!!! The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is NPL 18220 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Pye Label (see picture) and is a UK 1968 MONO 1st pressing!!!!
The record labels are in BRILLIANT condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!! 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 has only 2 or 3 slightly visual hairline type lines, only 2 or 3 MEGA light scufflines, only a few VERY light hairlines, only 2 or 3 TINY surface marks, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!! It plays with only a few VERY light clicks (though mostly NONE!), NO jumps, NO sticks, 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!!!! The record must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and still plays VERY well indeed (I just played it end to end and it is a GREAT listen!)!!!! 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 inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! The 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' MONO Cover is in GREAT condition overall - and still looks VERY presentable indeed!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), quite a few creases (though cover is still VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!! There are also 2 VERY small splits on the opening edge (one on the front & one on the back) - though these have been PERFECTLY repaired & are 100% strong!!!! The one on the front is COMPLETELY INVISIBLE (you would never know it was there AT ALL!) and the one on the reverse simply looks like a TINY 'creaseline'!!!! The opening edge is still nice and straight - though there is very VERY minor evidence that it has been 'touched in'/tidied at some point in the past (though this is again - virtually INVISIBLE!)!!!! Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO yellowing, NO ringwear, barely ANY rubbing AT ALL, NO grubbyness, a few creases to the flipbacks, and NO writing!!!! The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT 'wrecked'!) if not better - though it is still VERY presentable indeed (see pictures!) and HEAVILY downgraded!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
