CONDITION.
MONO written in outline text
(confirming , with above details, 1st issue)
YES PLEASE NOTE THIS VINYL IS STEREO BUT HOUSED IN A MONO SLEEVE,
ONLY REASON I CAN GIVE YOU FOR THIS , IS THAT STEREO WAS STILL VERY MUCH A NEW CONCEPT IN 1965 , VERY FEW PEOPLE COULD AFFORD EQUIPMENT CAPABLE OF PLAYING, THEREFOR , ORIGINALLY, MANY MORE MONO RECORDS WERE MADE THAN STEREO (1ST ISSUE) AND PRESUMABLY THIS WAS ALSO TRUE OF THE SLEEVES (THIS IS NOT THE 1ST TIME I HAVE COME ACROSS STREREO VINYL HOUSED IN MONO SLEEVE) SLEEVE FOOTNOTES (BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER BACK, BOTH THE MONO AND STEREO CATALOUGUE NUMBERS ,
SO QUITE POSSIBLY THIS IS NOT SUCH A RARE OCCURANCE AS I FIRST THOUGHT.
Foldbacks all intact, very slight age discolourage,unlaminated back.
TRULY BRILLIANT CONDITION

Vinyl
Extremly light surface markings,
There were faint, only just audible , clicks at the begining of "You Like Me Too MUch" , a little noticable crackle BETWEEN tracks
BUT NO JUMPS STICKS OR SKIPS.
Sounds
EXCELLENT
Made of the older "Heavy" Vinyl
and built to last.
It has clear crisp
PRETTY RARE
Please bare in Mind "Stereo" (phonic) was still a very new concept in 1965 and few people had equipment capable of playing in stereo in those days
HENCE MANY FEWER WERE EVER MADE (1st press) basicall because only the privilidge few could
afford a Stereo record player.
STEREO sound.
