THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  IT IS ONE OF THE RAREST UK RELEASED LPS EVER AND SIMPLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  JUST TRY AND FIND ANOTHER ONE!!!!  NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT CONDITION AND HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THE ONLY OTHER THING TO MENTION - IS THAT WHILST THE RECORD IS A 100% GENIUNE 1969 UK 1ST PRESS RECORD (I HAVE EVEN TAKEN CLOSE UP PICTURES OF THE MATRIXES TO SHOW THIS!) - THE COVER MAY BE SLIGHTLY LATER (?) AS IT IS UNLAMINATED (THOUGH I HAVE EXAMINED IT CLOSELY AND IT LOOKS LIKE A 1ST PRESS COVER TO ME - APART FROM THE FACT THAT IT IS UNLAMINATED).  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1969 UK 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS PHILIPS LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'STAMPED' MATRIXES & COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is an ORIGINAL UK Philips 1st Pressing from 1969 and is in STUNNING condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl. The Cat. No is SBL 7893 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Philips Label (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME 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 in STUNNING condition!!!!  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 scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light TINY hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some absolutely MEGA faint touches of ULTRA light background sound on the run on grooves and VERY occassional gap - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better and is VERY close to a grade above!!!!  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 also has its ORIGINAL inner sleeve!!!! The Cover is in SUPERB condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour), barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the back is in SUPERB condition with NO grubbyness, NO writing, and NO yellowing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent++++ if not better!!!!  SUPERB COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! 

HAVE A LOOK AT MY PICTURES - I DO MY BEST TO SHOW THE RECORD FROM ALL ANGLES AND MAKE THE PICTURES AS CLEAR AS POSSIBLE - THERE IS NOTHING TO HIDE!!!!
