No is PMC 1230 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label (see picture) and is a UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!! 

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear (apart from a TINY touched in trace around the centre holes), and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition overall - and though it is not 100% MINT, it is still a VERY bright & shiny example indeed!!!!  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 only 3 or 4 TINY hairline type marks, only 3 or 4 visible (but NON sounding!) scufflines, only 3 or 4 VERY light hairlines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO skips, only a few VERY light clicks, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  There is however some audible background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - though this is generally lost WELL behind the music, which still gives a VERY decent listen indeed!!!!  The actually sound quality itself is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must MEGA STRICTLY grade Good+ (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a VERY presentable record indeed!!!!  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 'Emitex' inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ULTRA RARE 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending'  MONO Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), NO splits, only a few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking!), NO rips, NO tears, shiny laminate, only some very VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to the bottom corners, NO annotations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, only VERY slight fading, NO yellowing, only 1 TINY mark on the top edge, NO ringwear, NO rubbing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - and is still a very VERY decent cover indeed, with NO major defects AT ALL!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
