THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  HOWEVER THIS IS THE RAREST ANIMALS LP OF ALL TIME!!!!  TAKE A LOOK AT THE LABELS - THIS REALLY IS THE RAREST ANIMALS LP EVER PRESSED!!!!  AND IT WILL BE A VERY VERY LONG TIME (IF EVER) BEFORE YOU SEE ANOTHER!!!!  I WILL EXPLAIN EXACTLY WHY THIS LP IS SO AMAZING RARE!!!! 

IN 1964 THIS LP WAS 1ST PRESSED AS A UK EXPORT - AND WAS PRESSED ON THE BLUE EXPORT REGAL LABEL.  IT WAS EXPORTED IN RELATIVELY LARGE AMOUNTS (FOR AN EXPORT) - AND WHILST THE 1964 1ST EXPORT PRESSING ON THE BLUE REGAL LABEL IS STILL VERY DESIRABLE - IT DOES TURN UP FOR SALE ON A REGULAR BASIS AND IS RELATIVELY EASY TO LOCATE.  HOWEVER - THE REAL RARITY IS WHAT HAPPENED FOUR YEARS LATER!!!!  IN VERY LATE 1968 EMI DECIDED TO EXPORT THIS LP AGAIN (THIS TIME IN ONLY ABSOLUTELY TINY AMOUNTS - IN FACT, THIS IS THE ONLY ONE I HAVE EVER SEEN!) AND USED A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT EXPORT LABEL!!!!  THIS TIME IT WAS EXPORTED ON A BLACK REGAL LABEL!!!!  AND THIS IS OF COURSE WHAT MAKES THIS THE RAREST ANIMALS LP OF ALL TIME!!!!  THIS ULTRA RARE 1968 EXPORT PRESSING IS SO RARE THAT IT ISNT EVEN CREDITED IN ANY GUIDE BOOK!!!!  IN FACT, I ONLY KNEW OF ITS EXISTENCE AFTER SOME VERY EXTENSIVE RESEARCH!!!!  AND CHANCES OF EVER FINDING ANOTHER ARE VIRTUALLY ZERO!!!!  AND IT IS ALSO VERY IMPORTANT TO CORRECTLY IDENTIFY THIS AS A 100% GENIUNE UK EXPORT - AS IT HAS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' TEXT ON THE LABELS, UK STAMPED EMI MATRIXES, AND A UK FLIPBACK LAMINATED EXPORT COVER!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN STUNNING CONDITION AND CLEARLY HASNT BEEN PLAYED MUCH AT ALL!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK EXPORT PRESSING ON THE ULTRA RARE BLACK EXPORT REGAL LABEL, ORIGINAL INNER SLEEVE, AND EXPORT 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' PATENTS PENDING FLIPBACK LAMINATED COVER (WITH 68/08 DATE CODE ON THE REAR FLIPBACK)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL UK 1968 EXPORT Pressing, and is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!

This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is also great to find that the playing of the record is as STUNNING as the visual!!!!
