ATTENTION THE BEACH BOYS AND 1960s ESSENTIAL,CLASSIC ROCK LP COLLECTORS!  HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1966 MONO 1ST UK EDITION OF THE BAND'S FINEST ALBUM: "PET SOUNDS". 

EMI PRESSED CAPITOL "RAINBOW RIM" ROUGH TEXTURED LABELS WITH THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE -1/-1 MATRIXES MUCH EARLIER THAN MOST THAT TURN UP AS WELL AS THE "SOLD IN THE UK"LABEL TEXT AND THE RAISED PRINT K T TAX CODE ON THE SIDE 1 LABEL NOT ON LATER DESIGNS. 

THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER IS PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE AND HAS THE"PATENTS PENDING"CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED AND NOT ON LATER COVERS. 

THE PLAIN WHITE CURVED EDGES INNER SLEEVE HAS THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED HAS SOME MINOR CREASES BUT NO WRITING,SPLITS,RIPS OR REPAIRS.

I HAVE ALSO INCLUDED AN ADDITIONAL EMI/CAPITOL LPs INNER SLEEVE PRINTED A FEW MONTHS LATER THAT INCLUDES "PET SOUNDS" AND OTHER BEACH BOYS LPs AND THIS HAS THE  "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" TEXT DENOTING ONE OF THE FIRST EVER PRINTED WITH NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS-JUST A FEW CREASES!

THE DISC HAS THE RAINBOW RIM LABELS-LATER ONES HAD A DIFFERENT TEXT/LABEL LAY OUT WITH THE CAPITOL LOGO AT THE TOP AND OF COURSE LATER ONES THAN THAT HAD SILVER/BLACK OR ORANGE COLOUR LABELS.

THIS COPY HAS SOME LIGHT SURFACE MARKS,A COUPLE OF VERY SHORT LIVED AND MINOR FAINT CLICKS BUT NO STICKS OR JUMPS. THERE IS SOME SURFACE NOISE HERE AND THERE WITH A LITTLE DISTORTION AT SOME OF THE SOUND PEAKS BUT NOT TOO OBTRUSIVE!  I LISTEN WITH THE TREBLE FULLY ON AND AT HIGH VOLUME. VERY STRICTLY GRADED AS VERY GOOD++++CONDITION AND IT PLAYS GREAT!  DEEP CUT LOUD AND BASS FILLED,THICK VINYL WAS VERY HARDY AT THIS TIME RATHER THAN THE LATER WAFER THIN REPRESSES OFTEN CUT AT A LOWER VOLUME BUT I WANT THE WINNING BIDDER TO CONSIDER IT "BETTER THAN EXPECTED". PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY BEATLES ALBUMS! UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TO ENSURE REALISTIC AND SATISFYING GRADINGS. BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE. THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER WITH SOME MINOR CREASES AND SOME SLIGHT STAINING AT THE BACK BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS AND VERY PRESENTABLE.THICK AND 100% FLAT VINYL. 

THERE IS HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR OR LABEL WRITING OR STAINING.

MOST COPIES SOLD IN 1966 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT,BEYOND LISTENING PLEASURE ON TODAY'S UNFORGIVING EQUIPMENT,USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT, SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE HAS HAD SOME PLAYS BUT FAR BETTER THAN MOST! 

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!

THE MONO MIXES OF THIS ALBUM ARE DIFFERENT TO THE STEREO ONES AND MOST BEACH BOYS COLLECTORS WILL WANT TO OWN BOTH BUT OF COURSE THE MAJORITY OF MONO COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL-THIS BEING A NICE,STRICTLY GRADED VERY GOOD++ CONDITION COPY!

A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE FOR THIS IMPORTANT PART OF ANY BEACH BOYS OR ESSENTIAL ALBUMS COLLECTION!

 YOU'LL LOVE IT FOR YEARS AND HOPEFULLY WILL RETURN TO ME AGAIN!   

SUPERB MONO SOUND PLUS THE ADDED ADVANTAGE OF THE BASS THAT CANNOT BE MATCHED ON CD!!

The previous owner was not a smoker and so this item doesn't stink of that dreadful stale smoke!!!!Lovely pressing!! Warm sound!!.

 I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.
