THIS IS EASILY LOVE’S MOST SOUGHT AFTER LP EVER AND IS A TRUE ALL TIME CLASSIC LP.
EVERY TRACK ON THE LP IS SIMPLY SUPERB, INCLUDING THE CLASSIC 'ALONE AGAIN OR', THE AMAZING DRUM BEAT IN 'A HOUSE IS NOT A MOTEL', 'THE DAILY PLANET' (WITH PHASING AND EVEN THE OCCASSIONAL TOUCH OF ENGLISH STYLE PSYCH!), THE INCREDIBLY HAUNTING 'RED TELEPHONE', THE GUITAR SOLO ON 'LIVE & LET LIVE' AND SO MANY MORE. NOT MANY LPS GAIN THE STATUS OF 'CLASSIC’ BUT IN THIS CASE THE STATEMENT IS 100% TRUE!!!! THIS IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT ONE OF THE TRUE CLASSIC LPs TO OWN FROM THE 1960s.
The vinyl has been played and is visually graded in near mint (-) condition for side 1 and in excellent (-) condition for side 2. I have played the LP on a standard equipment and sounds great, just some background noise between the tracks that will benefit from a professional clean and a few short clicks on You set the scene. Please see below a description of grades and note that this vinyl is over 51 years old that has been played and will not transform into anything different to the condition stated.
The ELEKTRA ORANGE labels are in near mint condition with no writing. On side 2, the song titles B1 and B4 have been shortened to 'BETWEEN CLARK AND HILLDALE' and 'THE GOOD HUMOR MAN', whereas the full titles are displayed on the sleeve.?
Another rarity of this pressing is that the sleeve was printed in the UK as stated in the back and not in the US as other UK later pressings. The laminated sleeve is in excellent condition with creases, edge and corner wear. It has the Stereo sticker in the front. The back sleeve has the colour photo of the band and "Manufactured in Great Britain by POLYDOR" at the bottom. Another characteristic of this pressing is that this pressing of Stereo albums were sold in a Mono EKL 4013 with a 'Stereo' label applied to the top left corner below the catalog number leaving the word mono on the back of the sleeve under the catalogue number.
The spine is fully legible in excellent condition with corner wear.
THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND SO DON’T MISS THE CHANCE OF OWNING A RARE PIECE OF ROCK HISTORY!

Visually-graded vinyl: A visual grading will identify physical flaws (such as scratches) and can help determine whether a record has been cared-for properly. A visual grading will not identify noise or crackle caused by non-visible sources. Most of the records I sell are between thirty and sixty years old and so it is likely that there may be some background noise even if they look perfect.
Play-grading MONO records: Mono records and stereo records have different grooves. A stereo record produces a stereo sound via both lateral and vertical groove modulation whereas a mono record is not intended to produce any sound from vertical modulation. Playing a mono record with a stereo cartridge will create distortion because it is trying to pick-up the vertical (stereo) part of the signal, whereas this is not intended to be heard on a mono record and so is just noise. Using a pre-amp with a mono switch will eliminate the noise caused by vertical modulation leaving just the lateral groove signal which is how the record was intended to be heard. If you do not have a mono switch on your amp or pre-amp you will be reproducing the noise from the vertical part of the signal and so the record will not sound as good. This is not any fault of the record, it is inherent to playing any mono record through a system that it was not designed for. Guide to grades used
