ORIGINAL VERY EARLY UK FIRST PRESS
cat no. 583045 secondhand 'Reality' 1968
Long established now as one of the few cornerstone LP releases of the 60's UK psych scene that morphed into rock music
DISC: original UK copy  Disc looks EX and plays Ex perfectly throughout with only some light crackle Labels look perfect, please study pics to confirm Shiny bright as new vinyl, no scratches, pops, clicks or major flaws of any kind I can see with naked eye and only numerous whisps of paper bag removal under halogen or a bright light. Really you'd only need to upgrade to Mint, if you could find one. SLEEVE: Fully laminated Being its supposed to look worn out the sleeve can be a difficult grade!  The ring-wear is deliberate and part of the cover. The seams and spine tell the story though with this one and all are perfect, there are only the most minor corner bumps and the laminate front and real is NOT lifting anywhere though there are light creases and laminate wrinkles, please study the photos carefully for the detail..
I'm not going to bang on like some, this is a top, very early '68 original press, copy of a classic now rare album that (though well received) sold relatively poorly at the time.
The condition is outstanding for 50 imo years old and it has been treasured by me. Ok they do turn up but rarely in such fine state these days, if it goes I will miss it.
Thanks for looking listing a few others today.
Please note I use UK Record Collector grading system for all albums 
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. 
The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. 
The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality,
despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. 
The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
