**ORIGINAL 1968 APPLE UK STEREO LP 613012 IN LAMINATED COVER**

CONDITION....RECORD....EXCELLENT ++/ NEAR MINT (EX++/M-) ...COVER...VERY GOOD+ (VG+) (SEE BELOW)

MATRIX NUMBERS..... SAPCOR 2A-1 SAPCOR 2B-1

STAMPING CODES.... G/1 O/1 FIRST PRESS

A very hard to find original UK LP due to low sales. A lot of shops wouldn't stock this record because of the obvious nude cover. I believe the record has only been played once or twice. This is from my own personal collection. Can I please point out, the UK issue NEVER came with a brown paper bag. The back of the cover features the "Made In Merrie England" reference.

The track listing

Side One) Two Virgins no.1 / Together / Two Virgins no.2 / Two Virgins no.3 / Two Virgins no.4 / Two Virgins no.5  Side Two) Two Virgins no.6 / Hushaby Hushaby / Two Virgins no.7 / Two Virgins no.8 / Two Virgins no.9 / Two Virgins no.10

The Cover....The cover is in good strong condition. The lamination is still very clean and shiny. There is some lamination peel to the back, and some general creasing here and there mainly to the corners where the record is to heavy for the fragile sleeve. These 1st press covers were extremely fragile and flimsy. The pictures are sharp and unfaded, and the cover is unyellowed. The cover is graded a solid Very Good+.

The Record....The disc is in outstanding condition. I believe it has only been played once or twice. A top example of an extremely rare LP. The disc has it's new, natural shine, and grades an outstanding Excellent ++/Near mint Condition .The best you will find realistically!!

The labels..... Both labels are graded as Near Mint / Mint. No spindle marks on Side 1, and only 2 light spindle marks on Side 2, hence the Near Mint condition. These are the dark green Apple labels with "Sold in the UK" text and track logos. The BEST examples! See both scans.

The Inner Sleeve.... This is the original Apple black inner sleeve. Some light general ageing, but not as tatty as they usually turn up in as these covers are prone to serious wear. A really good strong inner sleeve. The record has now been placed in a new inner sleeve to preserve the original during transit. 

We use the UK grading system E.G. VG / EX / MINT. We also use + and - if there are slight differences between the grades.

**All Records are sent out in plastic covers with the record placed out of the front cover to prevent the cover from getting knifed. All records are sent out in strong mailers with added protection to make sure that they reach you in the condition that they leave here in.**

**For each record or item sent out I will fill out a separate Proof of Postage slip that is date stamped with the address of the destination of the parcel. Insurance will cost extra and is highly recommended, I will not be responsible if this is not taken for items lost in the post. I also will not send to France unless registered postage is taken as it seems the postal system in France is very poor will parcels getting stolen. It is not just me that has had this problem but my friends that also sell.**

**Please note if you cannot make payment within 20 days of the auction ending please do not bid as the number of non paying bidders seems to be on the increase. If there are any problems with sending payment i.e - you going on holiday - please let me know. I will provide my best service at all times. If payment has not reached me within the 20 days of the auction ending the item will be relisted or sold elsewhere. I am not into giving negative feedback as I feel that this is a childish feature and not my style. It seems some people on this auction site are Trigger Happy with this feature. Check out my feedback. Thank you to most of the customers that I have dealt with in the past two years who know the score. **

** Please read this - If you have been buying from some dealers on ebay who continue to sell records that have been altered or have stickers placed over writing to hide damage, or selling in a much lesser condition than stated;- I would rather sell the record in it's original state, than cut out pieces of paper to hide the truth. I am also against skimming, steaming and other dirty tricks. I will playgrade all records and do all grading under a 100 watt light bulb, which shows the truth. I will continue to place quality items on ebay as I want to build up my customer base. The only things that I want to come back are customers, not records. Thank You.**

All records are visually graded, and playgraded on sound equipment.
