********************************************************************* 

THERE HAVE BEEN ALL MANNER OF REISSUES OVER THE YEARS,THIS IS THE EARLIEST  ISSUE AND ONE OF THE BEST YOU WILL FIND OF THESE TRACKS AS FOR A START THEY WERE PRESSED UP BY A MAJOR RECORD COMPANY(POLYDOR)AND USED GENUINE STEREO RECORDINGS WITH CLEAR SOUND AND LOTS OF BASS ON THICK VINYL.

MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP ARE BEATEN UP BUT THIS IS THE BEST I HAVE FOUND IN YEARS!

BACK IN 1969 WHEN THIS LP WAS MADE, THE MAJORITY OF EQUIPMENT USED RUINED ANY COPY WITHIN JUST A COUPLE OF PLAYS.DON'T FORGET THOSE PARTIES WHERE SUCH LPs WERE PLAYED AND ENDED UP LEFT LYING AROUND WITHOUT A COVER OR ON A TURNTABLE TO WARP AND ATTRACT DUST AND DIRT,SPILLAGES,SCUFFS,SCRATCHES etc etc.

HARDLY ANYONE THOUGHT LONG TERM VALUE AND VERY,VERY FEW WOULD PLAY SUCH MUSIC IN THE SAME CAREFUL WAY THAT CLASSICAL BUYERS WOULD.THIS COPY IS THE EXCEPTION!!!!!!!!!!!!

ANY PROGRESSIVE ROCK FAN WILL WANT THIS ONE, ESPECIALLY IN SUCH GREAT CONDITION-I CAN'T RECALL EVER FINDING ONE AS GOOD AS THESE FOR YEARS-JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER PAIR FROM AN EQUALLY LONG TERM EBAY SUPPLIER OF TOP QUALITY VINTAGE RECORDS!

A LOVELY VINYL PRESSING AND OF COURSE MOST COPIES THAT WERE SOLD WERE RUINED ON OLD AND HEAVY EQUIPMENT!!

THERE WAS A TINY NUMBER MADE IN MONO BUT BY 1969 EVEN THE MOST BASIC AND SMALLEST NEW RECORD PLAYERS HAD COMPATABLE CARTRIDGES FITTED TO SAFELY PLAY STEREO RECORDS AND THE INDUSTRY WAS VERY KEEN TO PHASE OUT MONO WITH FEWER COPIES BEING PRESSED,

SOME SHOPS BY 1969 WERE STOCKING FEWER MONO COPIES-SOMETIMES EVEN GETTING THEM TO SPECIAL ORDER ONLY.

SO TO FIND A STEREO PRESSING OF THIS LP IN SUCH BREATHTAKING NEAR MINT(MOST PEOPLE'S MINT)IS VERY EXCITING INDEED!

SO BACK TO THE DISCS>>>>>> 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS COPY HAS BEEN PLAYED ON TOP EQUIPMENT WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE WHATSOEVER!

GENERALLY VERY QUIET VINYL,AS NEEDED WITH REFLECTIVE PASSAGES IN THE MUSIC!

How many were preserved like this one??

HARDLY USED AND NOT ABUSED!!! 

THERE IS AMAZING BASS AND YET STILL CRISPNESS OF SOUND!

Vinyl is still the best way to hear this great music AND ALWAYS WILL BE!

GREAT SOUND! 

MORE BASS THAN CD! 

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH. MANY EBAY SELLERS DON'T EVEN BOTHER TO PLAY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO SELL!!!

BID WITH TOTAL CONFIDENCE!!!! 

There is NO spindle wear.Lovely labels!!! 

The cover has some creases but nothing major,

NO WRITING!NO REPAIRS!NO SELLOTAPE! 

MOST TURN UP WITH MAJOR WEAR! 

Look elsewhere on ebay and you might see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often later 1970s or 1980s represses or lower grade copies with all manner of faults OR WITHOUT THE DETAIL I AM PROVIDING WITH TOTAL HONESTY.

HOPEFULLY THE WINNER WILL FIND THIS SET A BIT BETTER THAN EXPECTED!!

Don't forget GENUINE 1969 first stereo pressings in nice conditions are getting hard to find! 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!
