AN ORIGINAL 1969 UK PRESS EDITION OF THE WONDERFUL ALBUM ISSUED ON THE UK EMI PRESSED $TATESIDE LABELS .  

          THICK PRESSING different to the LATER THINNER pressings from a few years later-This ESSENTIAL  LP pressed OVER 40 years ago.

ONE OF THE ERA'S BEST, SONGS THAT WILL PLEASE ANYONE INTERESTED IN THE GENRE!

AN INCREDIBLE LP THAT STILL SOUNDS EXCITING 41 YEARS ON SINCE IT WAS RECORDED! 

MOST COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE IN POOR CONDITION-THIS LP IS IN EXCELLENT++++ CONDITION AND THAT IS BEING VERY STRICT!

NO JUMPS!/NO STICKS!/NO NASTY LOUD THUDDING CLICKS!/NO SWISHES!

 Copies of this album were sold in TINY quantities as the band were only known for the medium sized UK hit single"Dear Delilah"(included on this LP) but how many were preserved like this one ??

HARDLY USED AT ALL!!!!!!

STILL SOUNDING AND LOOKING GREAT! 

The SOLID MONO mixes are brilliant and full of bass.

 Vinyl is still the best way to hear THIS MUSIC and always will be!  

GREAT WARM VINYL SOUND!

I TEST ALL THE WAY THROUGH WITHOUT FILTERING OR A MONO SWITCH.

I HAVE PLAYED IT TWICE TO CHECK FOR ANY FAULTS.

There is NO spindle wear!!!

EVERY COPY I HAVE SEEN HAS HAD SOME BUT THESE LABELS ARE STILL VERY CLEAN!!!!!!  

NO WRITING/NO STICKER REMOVAL/NO WORN PRINT!!!

  THE GLOSSY/LAMINATED FRONT COVER HAS A FEW CREASES, BUT NO WRITING,NASTY RIPS,SELLOTAPE REPAIRS,STAPLES,HOLE CUTS.

SPINE DETAILS ARE CLEAR TO READ!! 

 Look elsewhere on ebay and you MIGHT see other copies-Look closer and you will find they are often USA issues, STEREO issues or lower grade copies with all manner of faults. 

MOST RECORDS ON EBAY ARE IN DIABOLICAL, BAD CONDITIONS ATTEMPTED TO BE  SOLD BY PEOPLE WHO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GRADE OR BOTHER TO ACTUALLY PLAY THEM FOR AN ACURATE DESCRIPTION!

This is A POSSIBLE UPGRADER SET-EXAMINE YOURS AND IT MAY NOT BE AS GOOD AS YOU THINK!

AT WORSE AND IN THE STRICTNESS OF POTENTIAL BUYERS,THE DISC IS IN EXCELLENT++++ CONDITION. FAR,FAR BETTER THAN MOST PEOPLES USE OF THE "EX"GRADING BUT IT IS DOWN TO MY STRICT GRADING POLICY.  

THE LP  AS USUAL WILL BE REMOVED FROM IT'S COVER BEFORE SENDING!   

REMEMBER I AM GRADING STRICTLY! PLEASE STUDY BOTH OF THE PHOTOS!
