The vinyl is EX+, looks amazing and is clean and crisp; there are a couple of very minor surface marks but this LP plays beautifully throughout both sides.

The labels are also damage free, flat, clean and clear; Black with Gold text, small 33 1/3 and without tax codes. Practically no spindle wear at all.

The Parlophone Co LTD, written at the start of the lower perimeter print.

The cover is fold back and is in EX condition; no damage to the laminated front facing cover and the photo and text are clean and clear with great colour throughout.

Features large black MONO on the top right of the front cover.

Bottom right on the front features in very small print:

Photo: Angus McBean.

The P of the Photo lines up with the end of the last S on the 12 other Songs text which is printed above.

The spine is excellent too, straight and without any creases the text is also intact and perfectly readable.

Back cover is black and white and printed on the bottom right is:

Printed and made by Ernest J Day and CO, LTD, London, PMC 1202 PCS 3042.

There are on all 4 corners the tiniest of scuffs and on the back cover there is a tiny bit of lift on the top and bottom right fold over edges; but it really is minor and there are no missing pieces to this cover at all.

Also this LP still has the original Emitex die cut poly lined inner sleeve; which has a few creases to the corners but is not damaged at all; no rips or tears; however to keep this inner in this EX condition I have housed the vinyl in a brand new die cut poly inner sleeve.

This is a rare and hard to find LP at the best of times, but to get the chance to own one in this condition is almost impossible. A truly beautiful and well looked after piece of music history; so good luck, thank you for looking and happy bidding.

I will post in the UK with Royal Mail’s Guaranteed Next Day Delivery and for buyers from Europe and WorldWide I will post using Royal Mail's International Tracked & Signed.

However I can only list postage prices for the UK & Europe as eBay only allows two postage charges to be listed:

*****SO BUYERS FROM OUTSIDE OF EUROPE*****

*****PLEASE DO NOT SEND PAYMENT, UNTIL YOU RECEIVE THE INVOICE****.

Many Thanks For Looking.
