Description
This album was released on the Parlophone label (PCS 7027) in June 1967. It is the first stereo pressing on heavy quality vinyl with Matrix Numbers YEX 637-1 and YEX 638-2. I bought the album shortly after its release and have looked after it well. It has always been stored vertically alongside other albums in a record cabinet.
The condition of the vinyl is excellent with just a few surface marks. There is, however, a bit of a scuff mark near the lead in grooves on side 1 and over a few millimetres of track 1. I only noticed these when I came to inspect the LP closely so I could describe it for selling on ebay. Having listened to this section a couple of times recently I cannot hear their effect or any sound degradation at the beginning of the opening track. The whole album plays very well with excellent sound and no skipping or jumping. There seems to be hardly any surface noise or sound deterioration after all these years.
The front cover is by Peter Blake, is fully laminated and in excellent condition. There is one very slight crease about two inches in from the opening edge - probably caused by taking the record in and out.. There is no wear at the opening edge. The back cover and inside of the gate-fold are likewise in excellent condition and are unmarked. The writing on the spine is clearly legible and the lamination along it is in good condition. The cover is printed on heavy weight card by Garrod and Lofthouse Ltd. The cardboard insert of cut out moustache stripes, badges etc. is as good as new and has hardly ever seen the light of day.
The album comes with its specially designed original red, pink and white inner sleeve (see photo). It is in excellent condition with no folds, splits or tears.
I am willing to post abroad. Please contact me for postage costs.
