All the tracks are Pure quality Pretty Things at their best!!!! Any fan of The Pretty Things, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in GREAT condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and only a few light spindle marks!!!! The vinyl is in GREAT 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 3 or 4 hairline type marks, a few light hairlines, and only a few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays EVEN BETTER than the visual with only a few clicks/pops in a VERY few places, NO sticking, NO jumps, NO hiss and barely ANY crackle at all!!!! This LP really does play VERY well indeed!!!!  The record must grade Very Good(Minus)  - though the playing grade is more like Very Good+ if not better!!!!  The record also looks to have been cleaned at some point.  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 comes in its ORIGINAL 'patents applied for' 1st Press inner sleeve!!!! The Gatefold Flipback Laminated E.J.Day 1st Press Cover is in GREAT condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), some creases and NO writing!!!!  Under light there is 2 indentations to the laminate on the cover front - though these can only be seen under light and are NOT through the laminate and NOT through the colour!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated inside is in GREAT condition with NO writing, NO grubbyness, NO yellowing and just some grubbyness to the VERY edge of the top left inside flipback!!!! There is also NO splits, NO rips, NO writing and NO tears, though typically there is some laminate glazing to the black reverse of the cover (but again this is only noticeable under light). The cover must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed) if not better!!!!  IT IS INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND A UK 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP - AND WHILST THIS MAY NOT BE A MINT COPY - IT IS CERTAINLY A GREAT PLAYING COPY, WITH A VERY PRESENTABLE LOOKING COVER!!!!  DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE 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!!!!
