No is LK 4955 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press UNBOXED Decca label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer UK MONO 1st Pressing!!!! 

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO wear, NO writing, and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in BRILLIANT condition!!!! 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 NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, only 2 or 3 ULTRA light TINY surface traces, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  I should also say that this record is a bit uneven (this does NOT affect play!) - though this is the slower 'roll-type' uneveness and NOT the nasty small sharp warps that effectively end the life of so many records.  As a result this record plays BRILLIANTLY and was absolutely NOT affected by the uneveness AT ALL on ANY of the 3 different systems I tried it on!!!!  And make no mistake about it - this is a BRILLIANT playing record with an AWESOME shine!!!!  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 NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better - though without the uneveness (which does NOT affect play!) it would grade MUCH higher!!!!  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 BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Gatefold Laminated Cover is in GREAT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), only a few light creases, only a slight amount of uneveness to the cover front (NOT the opening edges though - they are FLAT!), VERY shiny laminate, only a few TINY indentations, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges are beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside of the cover is in GREAT condition with NO grubbyness, only VERY slight rubbing, NO yellowing, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed) if not better and is VERY presentable indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN MEGA RARE MONO - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS ULTRA RARE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
