graded VG/EX for a strict Record Collector magazine grading system

label: the Original Black label SX 6286 with tourquoise writings it's in perfect conditions because I can't see any mark on it so no spindle mark around the center hole or writings, wear. I can just say that the black it's not totally deep maybe because some humidity superficial traces but the shape it's great so EX-.
cover:the beautiful cover it's laminated of flipback type as the EMi label usually do in this period and it's flimsy. It does have some wear like smalls creases in the lamination, some corners wear, 1,5 cm of upper seam central split, a beginning of ring depend to how the light come on the lamination. Spine it's fully readable. Back it's just a little yellowed and there's some wear in the bottom flap and a little humidity stain just above this flap. It's a VG cover but still totally enjoyable and strict graded for the Record Collector magazine grading standards.
vinyl: the vinyl it's in great shape with  his brilliancy totally intact. . No noises, crackles, marks...so I can say it's EX because I have played it personally too. This is an hard too find item in this conditions.
review: Hightly Respected first album that I think it's hystorycally indispensable in any collection much more of the second and musically well rapresent the period where the psychedelic beginnings follow the beatlesque hightly influential musicals inspirations. The hammond organ of Ken Hensley start his long career, then with Uriah Heep with much more success and energy but here he reveal surelly all his best attitudes. The guitar of Joe Konas it's simply great with clean and long electric solos, John Glasgock it's a great bassist as he will demostrate with Head Machine, Carmen and Jethro Tull too ...Lee Kerslake is and will be a great drummer with Uriah Heep too. This is an impossible to miss album and the MONO press in the 1968 it's ten times rarer than the stereo, this is a fact as it's a fact that this have XAX  3676 - 1G as vinyl matrix number and 1 at 3 o' clock and G at 9 o' clock hence....this simply mean that this lp It's pressed from THE FIRST MASTER AND THE FIRST STAMPER and this believe me it's a VERY RARE FACT ...and the sound it's ashtonishing especially in this perfect vinyl. This is a very rare lp nowadays but it's ... a must!  SORRY FOR THE MINIMUM BID but this is really the minimum I can accept for a so rare item for don't loose my investment and this is a correct auction very different the many "pushed up" auctions I see all around! Please open very well your eyes!
