KT TAX CREDITS

A 1963 issue of the yellow and black label, there are a number of points on the label that confirm this: . "The Parlophone Co. Ltd." in on the rim print. . No "Sold in the U.K." statement.

(Both of these points confirm it is a 1963 pressing of the yellow and black label. On later (post 1963) pressings: "Sold in the U.K." appears between 1964 and 1965; And The Gramaphone Co. Ltd. appears on all lables between 1965 to 1969. Neither of these points are on this label. Please see photo of the label.)

Vinyl - VERY GOOD PLUS - condition. It has a number of light surface marks and very light surface scratches, but plays great.

the front is EXCELLENT, but there is the usual scuffing to the edges. the flip backs are intact but a little bit creased. the Spine text is totally intact. there is a very small break in the top edge of the cover

The sleeve is overall in EXCELLENT condition.

BOTH LABELS ARE in EXCELLENT CONDITION, deep un interupted colour.

Comes with Original EMITEX protective inner - EXCELLENT

NO WRITING, NO TEARS, NO STICKS OR JUMPS, NO STICKERS, NO SEAM SPLITS - GUARENTEED

"Recording first published 1963" printed on the label. Credited: Dick James Music Co. Cover is the rare first press version - Printed and Made by Ernest J. Day & Co. Ltd. London with Angus McBean credit on the right close to the open end.

Rarity: First pressings Getting very rare, and available copies are getting scarcer by the day. This copy, is highly sort after, collectable and fast becoming difficult to find. it seems certain there is a mixture of new and old formats being sold from the very early days of this albums release, without any doubt that these ones sold out fast. What is totally certain is the ratio of original format copies is only a small fraction compared to the many pressed and re-pressed later versions.

MY RECORD GRADING SYSTEM IS AS FOLLOWS - (BASED ON RECORD COLLECTOR MAGAZINE U.K. )

MINT: Virtually unplayed. The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. Cover is pristeen.

EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.

V.G PLUS: The record will still be nice and shiny, but may have a few light marks, and will play well. Slight wear and tear on the cover.

V.G: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items.

GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, etc.

FAIR: Fair. It is noticeable that the record has been played so much that the sound quality has detiorated very noticeably. The cover and contents are showing signs of folding, scuffing of edges etc.
