ATTENTION THE SHADOWS,1960s MUSIC ALBUM COLLECTORS AND CONDITION UPGRADERS! HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1969 LAST EVER MONO ISSUE OF THE SHADOWS LP: "GREATEST HITS!" WITH THE LATER DESIGN SILVER/BLACK LABELS WITH 1 EMI BOX AND VERY THICK VINYL BUT ALTHOUGH HAVING THE SMALLER MONO ON THE COVER STILL HAS THE "33"PREFIX IN FRONT OF THE "SX" AT THE BACK WHICH WAS DROPPED BY 1965 AS WELL AS HAVING A "PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT-CLEARLY THE DEMAND WAS SO SMALL FOR THIS LP IN 1969 THAT A FEW OLDER COVER BACKS WERE REPRINTED!

BY THE EARLY 1970s,THERE WAS A STEREO EDITION WITH SOME TRACKS BEING ELECTRONIC STEREO WITH THE MONO VERSION NO LONGER REPRESSED MAKING THIS PRESSING THE VERY LAST MONO REPRESSING THAT HARDLY ANYONE WAS BUYING AS IT HAD BEEN A MASSIVE SELLER THROUGHOUT THE 1960s.

THIS ONE HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AND OF TRUE UPGRADER STANDARD. PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS FOR THE TRACKS! 

 HOUSED IN THE ORIGINAL AND CORRECT "EMI RECORDS" INNER SLEEVE WITH THE "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" CREDIT DENOTING THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE INNER!  LOCATING A REALLY NICE UK MONO COPY FROM THE LATE 1960s IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE AS THE MAJORITY OF COPIES WERE PLAYED OVER AND OVER AGAIN CAUSING MAJOR DISTORTION AND GENERAL WEAR. THIS COPY HAS HAD MINIMUM USE WITH GLEAMING SURFACES. THERE ARE NO SURFACE MARKS WHATSOEVER AND VERY LITTLE SURFACE NOISE INDEED! IT PLAYS FANTASTIC WITH NO CLICKS,STICKS OR JUMPS.STRICTLY AND SERIOUSLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION!.

THICK VINYL. HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR.

THE INNER SLEEVE HAS A FEW TINY CREASES AND SOME STAINING BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS! BACK IN THE 1960s MANY DEALERS WOULD WRITE THE CATALOGUE NUMBER AND SOMETIMES THE ARTIST ON THE INNER SLEEVE-THIS ONE HAS NO WRITING WHATSOEVER. THE LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER HAS A FEW TINY EDGE CREASES BUT NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.  EASY TO READ SPINE DETAILS!

  PLEASE SEE ALL THE PHOTOS SHOWING THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER,THE INNER AND BOTH LABELS! NOTHING TO HIDE! A LOW,REALISTIC £12 STARTING PRICE WITH MORE ORIGINAL LPs ENDING FROM ME ON EBAY WITHIN MINUTES OF THIS AUCTION ENDING.  DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY TO BID FOR A MAGNIFICENT CONDITION COPY OF THIS LP!

Over the years I have helped to add to the collections of many  collectors and given my experience, I am aware of the titles that are GENUINE RARE ITEMS.

Now of course for those who are"chained"to the record collector price guide books,for whom I am one of the main consultants, the prices are still a SUGGESTION and as we all know ACTUAL prices SOLD can vary.

The sellers on ebay who continually put"listed"or "list price"on everything should be aware of this!!!!     

This is my honest grading!!!

Please see my listening policy below. 

I test on a lightweight pickup of approx 2 grammes and listen with the treble full on and no filtering or mono switch used.As both a collector and dealer,I AM VERY STRICT ON GRADING but DO CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR GRADING PROOF!!!!
