No is 613 013/4 on the ORIGINAL 1st Press 'Matt' Track Labels (see picture) and is a UK Stereo 1st pressing (there were NO Monos)!!!!

The record labels on BOTH records are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, and only a few light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl to BOTH records is in absolutely BRILLIANT condition - and in fact BOTH records look SUPERB!!!!  Most of these 60s Double LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and BOTH records have NO scratches, only 2 or 3 MEGA light hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  BOTH RECORDS STILL RETAIN THEIR ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOK SUPERB!!!!  It is great to find that the records play as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some EXTREMELY low level background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO distortion and NO groovewear either!!!!  The records must MEGA STRICTLY grade Very Good++++ if not better - and are very VERY close to a grade above!!!!  WHAT A SUPERB SET OF RECORDS!!!!  Believe me these records are NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!!  Brillant!!!!  The records also come in their ORIGINAL 1st Press inner sleeves which are both in SUPERB condition!!!!  The 1st Press NUMBERED Booklet (see picture) is in SUPERB condition with NO rips, NO tears, NO writing, NO grubbyness, NO splits, NO loose pages, and barely ANY creases AT ALL (it is VERY flat looking indeed!)!!!!  WHAT A SUPERB CONDITIONED BOOKLET!!!!  The 'Earliest' 1st Press 'E.J.Day' Triple Gatefold Laminated 'Patents Pending' Cover is in absolutely SUPERB condition - and one of the BEST I have EVER seen (these are usually TRASHED!)!!!!  The cover has NO splits, NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour), NO rips, NO tears, possible VERY minor evidence of 'tipping in' to a couple of the EXTREME corner tips, VERY shiny laminate, only a VERY few light creases (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), only 1 TINY pinhole in 2 of the corners (this is completely unnoticeable!), and NO writing!!!!  The opening edges & fold-out edges are beautifully straight with barely ANY feathering AT ALL!!!!  Even the unlaminated inside is in SUPERB condition with NO writing, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, NO grubbyness, and NO yellowing!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent(Minus) if not FULL Excellent - and is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find in this SUPERB condition (see pictures!)!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AS A 100% GENIUNE 1969 UK 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSING, AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND 100% COMPLETE (ESPECIALLY IN THIS SUPERB CONDITION!) - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!!
