THIS ORIGINAL STEREO RELEASE WAS PACKAGED IN THE MONO COVER WITH ADDITIONAL STICKERS. THE FRONT COVER HAD A 'STEREO' CAPTION AND THE BACK COVER HAD AN 'NSPL' CAPTION GLUED OVER THE MONO PREFIX 'NPL'. BOTH STICKERS ARE STILL IN PLACE ON THE COVER.
THE RECORD HAS BEEN PLAYED TESTED. THE RECORD PLAYS WELL AND IT IS A VERY ENJOYABLE LISTEN. I HEARD A COUPLE OF POPS DURING TRACK 1 OF SIDE 1. EVERYTHING ELSE WAS FINE AND ANY SPORADIC SURFACE NOISE WAS LOW LEVEL AND NOT OBTRUSIVE. THE RECORD PLAYED SILENT BETWEEN TRACKS. SIDE 2 ALSO PLAYED WELL BUT I DID HEAR SURFACE NOISE ON TRACK 1. ANY SURFACE NOISE THEREAFTER WAS OCCASSIONAL AND IT NEVER SPOILT AN ENJOYABLE LISTENING EXPERIENCE. SIDE 2 WAS SILENT BETWEEN THE TRACKS FROM TRACK3 ONWARDS. THE RECORD LIES FLAT ON THE TURNTABLE AND RETAINS A GLOSSY SHEEN. THERE IS A STICKER RESIDUE REMOVAL STAIN ON BOTH LABELS [SEE PICS 3, 4, 5, AND 6]. I HAVE GRADED THE RECORD AS BEING IN A MINIMUM OF VG CONDITION. THE COVER IS IN GREAT SHAPE AND THE SPINE IS STRONG. THERE IS A LITTLE RINGWEAR ON THE BACK COVER ALONG WITH A LITTLE BROWNING. THERE IS NO ANNOYING BIRO OR ANY OTHER WRITING TO BE SEEN. I HAVE GRADED THE COVER AS EXCELLENT. THIS IS A DECENT EXAMPLE OF WHAT IS A QUITE  RARE UK ORIGINAL STEREO PRESSING OF THIS TITLE.
