PMC1202 Mono First Pressing 1963 with Gold on Black Label. It has XEX421 - 1N stamped in the runout on side A and XEX 422-1N on side B.
It has the tax code MT embossed in the centre with the M and the T either side of the spindle hole on side one only.
The sleeve is in reasonable condition for its age. There aren't any tears but general wear and tear, specially on the corners and marks on the back where it looks like it has got wet or had a spill on it at some time.
I don't know whether the inner plastic lined paper sleeve is original. It has some creases, folds and has become ungummed on one side. It is printed in blue with tips on storing the record and setting up the turntable.
The disc is good but has quite a few mainly small surface marks and scuffs but no deep scratches and it plays well. It also has some fingerprints, I haven't tried cleaning it in case it causes damage to the disc. The labels are very good.
Details as below copied from internet.

I didn't expect the interest that there is in this record so I have just played it through again to make sure it is all ok. There is a small scratch which I missed when playing it before. It's towards the end of track three on side two going just into track 4 which causes a click on each revolution od the disc. It clicks for about the last 20-25 seconds of the track but not excessively and doesn't jump or stick at all. The click is audible through the gap into track four and once track four starts it disappears. I'm not a record expert but I still think it plays very well apart from that one exception, just the usual odd clicks, etc from dust and age.
Thank you for the questions on a buy it now price but I have a bid now so will let the auction run to the end. Please email any other questions. Many thanks.
On 14-Mar-17 at 18:17:05 GMT, seller added the following information: I've had a message pointing out what looks like the letters RX scratched onto the side 2 label at about the 10 o'clock mark at the edge. I had missed them, they're quite small and neatly done but no idea why they're there. They are visible in pictures 6, 7 and 10.
