The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is SHVL 761 on the 1st Press Harvest Label (see picture) and is a UK 1st Stereo pressing!!!!

The record labels are in STUNNING condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! There is also a couple of 'lighter areas' on one label (see pictures) - though these are NOT tears, and NOT residue - and I dont know what could have caused them - perhaps a manufacturing defect?  Either way this is an absolutely TINY defect (see pictures) and hardly a detraction, and these labels still look STUNNING!!!! The vinyl is in BRILLIANT 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 NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines (only visible under EXTREME light), and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS SUPERB!!!!  It is great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO nasty loud pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background noise on the VERY occassional gap, and run on grooves - NOT in the music!!!! There is 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 inner sleeve!!!!  The 1st Press Gatefold Laminated Cover is in STUNNING condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (still FULLY laminated), only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking), AWESOME shiny laminate and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated inside is in STUNNING condition with NO grubbyness, NO writing, and NO yellowing!!!! The cover must grade FULL Excellent!!!!  THIS LP IS EXTREMELY HARD TO FIND, AND IS ONE OF THE RAREST LPS ON THE HARVEST LABEL - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
