This is the ORIGINAL UK 1st Pressing from 1967 and is in AWESOME condition!!!! The record is pressed on thick quality vinyl. The Cat. No is ILPS 9061 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Island label (see picture) and is a UK 1967 STEREO 1st pressing!!!! All the tracks are pure quality Traffic at their best!!!! Any fan of  Traffic, or 60s music in general, will want to have this in their collection!!!!

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and NO spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS NEVER BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in AWESOME 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, NO hairlines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!! It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  It plays SUPERBLY with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is absolutely 100% PERFECT with NO groovewear and NO distortion!!!! The only INCREDIBLY minor thing to mention on the playing (most wouldnt even mention it), is some INCREDIBLY low level background sound on the Side 1 run on grooves and a couple of gaps (NOT in the music).  It is however MEGA low level and NO way affects the music AT ALL.  It also has to be from the pressing - as this record clearly has NEVER been played AT ALL, and may even clear up after a few plays (bearing in mind this LP hasnt been played SINCE NEW).  Either way it certainly doesnt affect the enjoyment of the AMAZING 100% clear sound quality on this LP as the music is 100% unaffected!!!!   The record must grade Excellent++ if not better!!!! AWESOME RECORD!!!!  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 1st Press inner sleeve which is also in STUNNING condition!!!!  The 1st Press Flipback Laminated Gatefold Cover is in AWESOME condition and is EASILY the best I have EVER seen!!!! JUST LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!   It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear (AMAZINGLY still 100% vertical, still FULLY laminated, and NOT flattened AT ALL), NO creases AT ALL (absolutely NONE, cover is PERFECTLY flat looking), NO corner wear, AWESOME unglazed PERFECT laminate, NO ringwear, NO record impression, and NO writing!!!! The opening edges are PERFECTLY straight with NO feathering AT ALL!!!! Even the unlaminated inside is in AWESOME condition with NO writing, NO rubbing, NO yellowing, and NO grubbyness!!!!  This cover is simply AWESOME and virtually IMPOSSIBLE to find in this condition!!!!  The cover must grade MINT(Minus)!!!! AMAZING COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION, AND IT WILL SURELY BE A VERY VERY LONG TIME (IF EVER) BEFORE YOU GET ANOTHER CHANCE TO OWN ANOTHER STEREO 1ST PRESSING OF THIS LP IN THIS CONDITION - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS MEGA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
