NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS LP IS IN GREAT CONDITION OVERALL - AND THOUGH IT ISNT 100% PERFECT, IT IS CERTAINLY A VERY PRESENTABLE, PLAYABLE EXAMPLE (I JUST PLAYED IT END TO END!)!!!!  JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1968 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS REGAL ZONOPHONE LABEL, 1ST PRESS INNER SLEEVE, AND 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED 'PATENTS PENDING' MONO COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!  This is the ORIGINAL Regal Zonophone UK 1st Pressing from 1968 and is in GREAT condition overall!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.  The Cat. No is LRZ 1004 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press Regal Zonophone Label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!!

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition overall!!!!  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 at first glance looks like a very VERY impressive example, with SUPERB looking gloosy shiny vinyl!!!!  However under close inspection under light - there are 3 or 4 TINY surface marks, only 3 or 4 light hairlines, only 3 or 4 VERY light scufflines (one of which is small, slightly visible, but is NON sounding!), 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 with only a few light clicks/pops (though mostly NONE!), NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The actual 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 - though first impressions are MUCH higher, and this record also plays VERY well too - with BRILLIANT sound quality!!!!!  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 inner sleeve which is in SUPERB condition!!!!  The 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated 'Patents Pending' MONO Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  The cover has NO edge wear (apart from a VERY small bit of 'touching in' on the top edge, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), possible 'tipping in' of the corner tips, only a few light creases (cover is still VERY flat looking!), shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, only VERY slight rubbing (WAY better than most!), and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good+ if not better!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE (ESPECIALLY IN MEGA RARE MONO!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
