THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED TESTED PRIOR TO LISTING. IT HAD BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I LAST PLAYED IT AND IT WAS WONDERFUL TO LISTEN TO IT AGAIN. THE RECORD IS A HISTORIC RECORDING OF WHAT IS NOW REGARDED AS ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS EVER MADE. THE MUSIC IS CLEAR AND VIBRANT. THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL AND ITS LABELS IS EXCELLENT. THE VINYL IS STILL SHINY. 
THIS 1968 ORIGINAL STEREO 'UK PRESSING' RELEASE WAS ISSUED IN A MONO GATEFOLD COVER WITH A STEREO STICKER AFFIXED OVER THE MONO CATALOGUE NUMBER [SEE PIC 5].  THE FLIMSY GATEFOLD COVER HAS A LITTLE LAMINATE LIFT TO THE TOP LEFT CORNER OF THE FRONT COVER [SEE PICS 1 AND 9]. THERE IS ALSO A LITTLE LAMINATE LIFT TO THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER OF THE FRONT COVER [SEE PIC 11]. THERE IS A LITTLE WEAR/RUBBING TO THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER OF THE FRONT CORNER [SEE PICS 1O, 12, AND 20]. PIC 12 SHOWS THE SAME CORNER WEAR WHEN THE SPINE OF THE COVER IS VIEWED IN A VERTICAL POSITION.  THERE IS LAMINATE LIFT ON THE BOTTOM EDGE OF THE BACK COVER [SEE PIC 7] AND ALSO NEAR TO THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THE BACK COVER [SEE PIC 5]. THIS MAY NOT BE VISIBLE IN THE TWO PICS AS IT IS DIFFICULT TO SEE. THE COVER IS STILL THE BEST EXAMPLE THAT I HAVE PERSONALLY EVER SEEN. THE SPINE IS EASILY READABLE [SEE PICS 14, 15, 16, 18, AND 19.


CONDITION OF SLEEVE= VG+ [THE LAMINATE LIFT AND THE CORNER WEAR HAS LOWERED THE GRADING] CONDITION OF RECORD= VG+ [MINIMUM]. PLAYBACK CONDITION IS GRADED AS EXCELLENT. THE CONDITION OF THE VINYL AND SLEEVE IS THE BEST THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN FOR THIS TITLE.
MATRIX/RUNOUT NUMBERS= SIDE A  NSPL 18233A-3  *T STEREO  KT  B   [THE KT & B IS ETCHED]   ----------------------------------------= SIDE B  NSPL 18233B-4  *T STEREO  KT  B   [THE KT & B IS ETCHED]
THE SPINDLE AREA IS VIRTUALLY UNMARKED. THERE IS NO BIRO WRITING ON THE COVER OR RECORD LABELS. THE ALBUM IS AN ENJOYABLE LISTEN.  THE FLIMSY GATEFOLD COVER AND VINYL IS RARELY SEEN IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION. I NEVER STORED THE RECORD INSIDE THE COVER. IT IS BY FAR THE BEST ORIGINAL VILLAGE GREEN VINYL AND COVER THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN. THIS IS A NICE EXAMPLE OF A RARE ITEM.
