Pics below form part of the description. All sides EXC- Audio sounds, plays as grade. side 3 has intro scuff, little or no effect on audio. Front/Rear laminated internal flip back sleeve is in EXC- condition, slight crease near front/top, some spine laminate shelf wear. 24 page booklet plus 4 blue lyrics pages still as originally stapled, there is a very small paper removal on lyrics pages at top middle ( see close-up pic ). The two original wavy top white inners are in VG++ condition, some creasing but no seam splits.
The sleeve and labels are clearly printed for the Mono MMT-1 package, but vinyl side 3 has been pressed using the stereo SMMT-1 stamper, sounds obviously stereo, and has the stereo matrix code. Also this pair of vinyls displays labels using two different fonts/text size. I am uncertain how many packages made it into the shops with this mispress, or how many were made/withdrawn before the mistake was realised. I have only come across one other example which contained three stereo's and one mono in a SMMT-1 package. These labels all have 'Sold In..' and 'The Gramophone..' text, with the K-T embossed tax code on labels 1 and 3 and stamped in all four sides dead wax.
Full matrices with mother/stampers...

Notice To International Buyers...The double wrap carton mailers I use with LP's give corner protection
for long hard postal journeys and with a standard LP it meets the lower weight tariff of 500 gms. If the
LP is double album or gate fold etc the higher weight tariff of 1000 gms is applicable.
A Couple Of Words About My Grading...I don't sell new records so I never use the MINT grade..highest I use is EXC++
I adhere to Record Collector guidelines..After cleaning and playing I give a visual grade augmented with an audio report.
Some records can have a poor visual grade but sound amazingly good, I describe these as 'Plays Better Than Grade'
Some records can grade EXC but have a flaw when played, if these are offered for sale I explain what the flaw is.
When it comes to picture sleeves a quality picture tells a thousand words, but not if the SEAMS are splitting, so I will give
information regarding that. Good pics can help a buyer make an informed decision on sleeve / label condition, but not entirely on what they will sound like,
hopefully with offering a visual grade, an audio grade and the pics it goes some way to making an informed buyers decision.
