BACK IN 1963 AT THE VERY HEIGHT OF SALES FOR THIS LP - THE HUGE DEMAND FOR THIS LP VASTLY OUTSTRIPPED SUPPLY - AND EMI/PARLOPHONE SIMPLY COULDNT KEEP UP WITH THE PRODUCTION!!!!  AS A RESULT THEY HAD TO ASK OTHER RECORD COMPANIES TO PRESS A FEW RECORDS FOR THEM - SO THEY COULD COMPLETE THEIR MASSIVE ORDERS!!!!  DECCA WAS ONE COMPANY THEY ASKED TO HELP PRESS THE LP - AND THIS PARTICULAR LP WAS ONE OF THE ULTRA RARE MONO PRESSINGS THAT WAS PRESSED BY DECCA 'FOR EMI'!!!!  AND THIS LP IS VERY EASILY IDENTIFIED AS AN ULTRA RARE DECCA CONTRACT PRESSING BY THE DEEP 'GROOVE' NEAR THE EDGE OF THE LABELS (SEE PICTURES)!!!!  ONLY ULTRA RARE DECCA CONTRACT PRESSINGS EVER HAD THESE ULTRA RARE DEEP 'GROOVED' LABELS - AND THIS WAS OF COURSE EXACTLY THE SAME LABEL DESIGN & GROOVE SHAPE AS ANY OTHER DECCA LP FROM THIS PERIOD OF THE 1960s!!!!  AND COMPARED TO THE ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE AMOUNT OF EMI/PARLOPHONE 1ST PRESSINGS THAT WERE MADE - ULTRA RARE 'DECCA CONTRACT' PRESSINGS WERE ONLY EVER MADE IN ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS AND ALMOST NEVER TURN UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!! 

AND FOR ONCE THIS LP HAS ITS 100% CORRECT DECCA 'HANDLING/PLAYING' INNER SLEEVE!!!!  CLEARLY AS IT WAS MADE AT DECCA, IT WAS PUT INTO DECCA INNER SLEEVES AT THE DECCA FACTORY!!!!  ALL DECCA CONTRACT PRESSINGS ALWAYS HAD DECCA INNERS FROM NEW - AND ANY WITH EMITEX INNERS HAVE BEEN WRONGLY SWOPPED!!!!  SO IT IS VERY NICE TO SEE THAT THIS LP HAS THE CORRECT INNER SLEEVE FOR ONCE!!!!

THIS LP EVEN STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL 'RON'S MUSIC SHOP' RECORD SHOP PLASTIC OUTER WHICH CAME WITH THE LP WHEN IT WAS BOUGHT IN 1963 (SEE PICTURE)!!!!

NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL UK 1963 'DECCA CONTRACT' MONO PRESSING ON THE ULTRA RARE 'DECCA CONTRACT' YELLOW & BLACK 'GROOVED' PARLOPHONE LABELS, ORIGINAL 'DECCA' INNER SLEEVE, THE 'PARLOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT, 'FIRST PUBLISHED' TEXT, A 'LARGE' MONO ON THE COVER FRONT, AND A 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' LAMINATED FLIPBACK 'PATENTS PENDING' MONO COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL UK MONO 'Decca Contract' Pressing from 1963 and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat.
