BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS 1ST PRESSED IN MEGA RARE MONO!!!!  AND THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN THE UK BACK IN 1969, NEARLY EVERY 1ST PRESSING WAS MADE IN COMMON STEREO - WITH VIRTUALLY NONE IN MEGA RARE MONO AT ALL!!!!  MOST SHOPS DIDNT EVEN STOCK MONOS BY THIS POINT - AND IT WAS ONLY AVAILABLE BY 'SPECIAL ORDER' ONLY!!!!  AND SALE FIGURES FOR THE TIME INDICATE THAT ONLY 150 MONO 1ST PRESSINGS WERE EVER SOLD - MAKING IT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO EVER SEE ONE IN MONO!!!!  AS A RESULT, FINDING A 1ST PRESSING OF THIS INCREDIBLE LP IN MEGA RARE MONO IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE - AS BARELY ANY WERE EVER MADE (150 MONO 1ST PRESSINGS ONLY!)!!!!

No is LK 4990 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press UNBOXED Decca label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is still VERY presentable indeed - and although it isnt in PERFECT condition, it is still VERY bright & shiny and plays WELL!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO nasty concentric marks (there are NO sticks and NO jumps on this LP!), only 3 or 4 visible lateral hairline type marks, only 2 or 3 scufflines (one of which is visible - but is completely NON sounding!), only 1 TINY mark, only a few VERY light hairlines, and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO skips, a few light clicks in places, NO sticking, 2 or 3 pops (from the TINY mark), NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - though MOST of the record is WAY better than this grading - and this record is still VERY bright & shiny looking indeed!!!!  And think very VERY carefully indeed before passing this AMAZING RARITY!!!!  ONLY 150 COPIES WERE EVER MADE IN MONO - AND THE CHANCES OF EVER FINDING ANOTHER ONE AGAIN ARE VIRTUALLY ZERO!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Red Mono inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  THE MEGA RARE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESS MONO/STEREO 'LYRIC' INSERT IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION - WITH NO DAMAGE AT ALL!!!!  The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Robert Stace' Laminated Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (apart from a few TINY creases!), only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a VERY few light creases elsewhere (cover is VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, only 2 or 3 TINY laminate lifts along the spinal edge, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, only VERY slight rubbing (way WAY better than most!), NO sticker marks, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY AS THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING EVER MADE - IN MEGA RARE MONO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
