No is LK 4652 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press UNBOXED 'Grooved' Decca label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st pressing!!!!
The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!! IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!! The vinyl is in absolutely 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, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 absolutely ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!! ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!! THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AMAZING!!!! It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!! The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade MINT(Minus)!!!! 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 comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!! THE ULTRA RARE 1ST PRESS INSERT IS IN ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONDITION - AND CLEARLY HASN'T EVER LEFT THE COVER!!!! The ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Clout & Baker' Laminated MONO Cover is in AWESOME condition!!!! It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, NO laminate lifting AT ALL, NO rips, NO tears, barely ANY creases AT ALL (actually I cannot see ANY creases AT ALL - and I am only saying 'barely any' in case someone spots a microscopic laminate wrinkle somewhere!), a SUPERB flat looking cover & STUNNING shape, VERY shiny laminate, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!! The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL (virtually NONE!)!!!! Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in AWESOME condition with NO grubbyness, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!! This LP came from an archive collection (which recieved it straight from the factory!), which is why it has a TINY Archive sticker in the top right corner on the cover back. The sticker has almost certainly been there since 1965 (and is clearly not a recent addition), and though you can never guarantee if anything is underneath it, I doubt that very much. The cover must grade Excellent++++ if not better!!!! AWESOME COVER!!!! THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
