Tracklisting & More Information

We all know this is a must have mono first press, so on to the nitty gritty.

The delicate sleeve is front laminated & remains in beautiful condition. The inner pocket is tight, the internal flipacks are secure & there is no writing or tears. The cover is a delicate design but has stood the test of time well. Shelf wear around the edges is at a minimum with just the odd small pinch to the spine & some light corner scuffs. The laminate remains tight & clean. Naturally, there is the odd couple of creases in the laminate & a little area of laminate lift in the bottom left corner, common in general for laminated sleeves of this period. Overall, an Excellent example.

The light powder blue Pye labels show the very faintest spindle marks to indicate play with no marks or tears.

Matrices:
NPL18233A 3-W
NPL18233B 3-W

The heavyweight vinyl itself is incredibly clean, & is carefully graded EX/EX- with a lovely deep sheen both sides. On close inspection, there are some very faint paper hairlines through time, none of which affect play & on first sight you would expect this one to have an £800 asking price at any record fair.

For the audiophiles among you that actually love to play their records, you're on to a winner here. Playback is superb on its intended mono setting. Rich sonics with no distortion & only a very little minor surface detectable inbetween tracks. This is a wonderful one owner copy of an alltime classic sixties recording that comes highly recommended.
