SLEEVE:  FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE HAS LIGHT RINGWEAR ON FRONT AND REAR.SOME THUMBNAIL CREASES ON EDGES . SIGNIFICANT CREASE ON REAR(BOTTOM RIGHT HAND SIDE). STICKER REMOVAL MARK ON REAR. SPINE SLIGHTLY 'SLANTED'. NO TEARS,.NO EDGE WEAR. GRADES VG

PLAYGRADE: I HAVE PLAYED THE ALBUM IN FULL FROM START TO FINISH AND IT IS A DIFFICULT ONE TO GRADE! SIDE ONE IS EASILY THE BETTER OF THE TWO. IT HAS ONE HEAVY CLICK (AT THE START) ,OTHERWISE IS A FINE LISTEN. GRADES EX/EX+. SIDE 2 HOWEVER , DESPITE BEING VISUALLY SUPERB , DOES NOT PLAY AS WELL AS IT LOOKS. TRACKS 1-3 HAVE OCCASIONAL ( NOT CONTINUOUS) LIGHT POPS AND HEAVY CLICKS.BECAUSE OF THIS I CAN ONLY GRADE THESE TRACKS VG. TRACKS 4+ 5 PLAY BETTER BUT TRACK 5 DOES CONTAIN ONE HEAVY CLICK.SO I WOULD GRADE THESE 2 TRACKS EX-.(SOME SURFACE NOISE IN THE QUIETEST SECTIONS OF THIS SIDE 2. DESPITE THIS , IT IS STILL A FAIRLY ENJOYABLE LISTEN. BONKERS,PSYCH LP!  PLEASE ONLY BUY IF YOU ACCEPT THIS DESCRIPTION.

LABELS : NEAR MINT.

COMES WITH GENERIC PLAIN WHITE INNER.


COMMENTS: THIS IS A CURIOUS ONE! THIS LP WAS ISSUED ON STABLE RECORDS IN 1969 AND ALL OF THE ONES THAT I HAVE SEEN ON 'POPSIKE' HAVE THE BLACK STABLE LABEL. THIS ONE , OBVIOUSLY , DOES NOT . ADDING TO THE INTRIGUE, THERE IS A CROSSED OUT STAMPED MATRIX NUMBER OF CAS 1008 A AND CAS 1008 B ON THE DEAD WAX. (THESE HAVE BEEN REPLACED WITH THE ORIGINAL STABLE CATALOGUE NUMBER) I HAVE GOOGLED THE CAS 1008 MATRIX NUMBER AND IT IS THE CATALOGUE NUMBER FOR 'CLASSICAL HEADS' LP BY JOSEPH EGER! I CANNOT EXPLAIN THIS CURIOSITY! WHY IT HAS THE B+C LABEL AND NOT THE STABLE LABEL IS A MYSTERY.... POSSIBLY, THIS IS THE ONLY COPY IN EXISTENCE WITH THE B+ C LABEL.....
